1909 S VDB -Is it real?
Hello everyone!
I just came across this on Ebay. It just does not look right to me. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Thank you for the replies! I messaged the seller and encouraged him/her to take it down.

I can't tell, can you take a closer look?

Re: 1909 S VDB -Is it real?
Also, to ID a real deal 1909-S or 1909 VDB wheat penny, the the middle area of the 'B' must be slanted for a genuine coin . . .
If that is not an option for the 1909-S VDB, the Style of the S must match the other genuine coins, otherwise, it's simply an altered 1909 VDB or completely fake . . .

"I can't tell, can you take a closer look?" Please click on link in original post to see close up photos. The screen shot in the latter post is to show the sellers response to me asking him to take it down on the basis of the coin being counterfeit.

When I tried zooming it in, it got too blurry for me to tell if it's a fake 1909-S VDB or not . . .

Yup - I agree with Daniel.
Phony as the installed power in DC at present.
I do know of someone who has a lot of pull on eBay getting fake coins taken down. The owner of the coincommunity,com forum, Bobbly, is trusted by eBay and he can get things taken off of eBay sometimes almost immediately. Post it there.

I was told this years ago....

It used to be back in the 90s when I was selling there. It was amazing before greed and incorporation took over. They grew so huge and profitable using their original model and now have to make profits by continually finding new ways to take profits from the sellers and buyers.
