ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 03/13/2021 07:11 am The somewhat splotchy color of this coin initially raised my suspicion. In checking the seller's feedback, I see that he's sold some counterfeits in past months. Bidding seems strong. What say our experts? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1909-S-Ind...313449848572 Report this Post to the Staff

Stay away unless you are certain it is 100% genuine. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 03/13/2021 11:13 am No expert, but I suspect an added mint mark. Pics are blurry but the top of the S is too short and the bottom loop too flat, and the area around it is suspicious. Report this Post to the Staff

True. I wonder if somebody would deliberately wear down the feathers. Now that you mention it, my eye is drawn to the change in color at the tips all around. Regardless, I wouldn't buy this coin uncertified. Report this Post to the Staff
