Thanks for the info.

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.

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.
