Not sure if fake since MM's were placed on the coins after they were minted so not perfect in authenticating with out close exam

Uh, no. Mintmarks were placed on the dies by hand, not on the coin. Also, only four obverse dies were used for the 1909-S VDB so mintmark position is one of the primary means of authentication by photograph since there are only four possible mintmark positions as shown in the first post.
