counterfeit?? 1909 s Indian Head cent

Hello experts,
I inherited coins from my father and grandfather - my grandfather collected old and odd. He did not purchase them and he never displayed them. He worked at a liquor store and 'checked change' especially for oddities. They were kept in a cloth bag and in old perscription bottles - I have 3 listed on ebay right now (5movinup) and was recently contacted by a kind member letting me know that the metal bumps on my 1909 coin are from casting and can not be on a coin minted in the U.S. OMG!!! i am now selling a possible counterfeit....I have been researching ever since as I do not want to deceive a potential buyer.
My coin passes the Ring Test, the magnet test, does not have a seam, has some very fine scratch marks under the magnifying glass that could be tool marks on the reverse and the only side the bumps are on is the reverse. HELP. Any thoughts?
Leigh
