Curious as well. You'd think they would fake a 1908S vs a normal 1908.

This is not a fake/no fake opinion.
But I'd ignore it.

Why?
-- 1908 IHC's probably are not faked, but ...
-- Blurry obverse picture; I can't grade it.
Rest in Peace

I have to say it's not a fake . Why would any one fake a common 1908 IHC ? Besides I don't see anything wrong with this coin .

The pinkish color and devices looked off to me. Could be wrong. I've seen common Chinese counterfeits.
