The "S" is supposed to be at the bottom of the wreath and I can't see any sign of one in that area.
Looks like a regular Indian Head. I would return it.

And no in advance I got it fairly cheap. Always hoping I'm gonna find that overlooked prize.

Did the buyer say it was a 1909-S? Post auction link please.

Here is my reverse of my 1909-S:  But yeah, looks like a Philadelphia mint to me...  |

The S should not have worn off to that extent, even in that grade. It a 1909 "plain".

I'm not seeing a mintmark either.

My initial thought is that someone scraped off an added S (looks like damage in that area). Then I kind of see some S's but they're the wrong size, shape, and location. Always a bad idea to try to force yourself to see something that you hope is there...

I agree, just an average 1909-P IHC. |
