1909S IHC- Real or counterfeit??

Hey everyone! I had this coin to look at on another site. For educational purposes, I was wondering if this looks Real or a Faked Mintmark? Compare the pictures to the Real thing from this website (Last Picture is the real deal). The Coin Look - Home
Here are the pictures, notice the style of the MM. Also, does it look cleaned?

I don't like the looks of it....I'm no expert but it's something I would prefer to buy already graded.

 

It is wrong - lack of detail, and distorted devices. STAY AWAY.

 

It looks too good, if that makes sense

 

Pass looks casted S is totally wrong

 

Looks more like an 8 than a letter S

 

It looks freshly cast.

 

S mint mark for Shanghai in this case....

 

Look at how three-dimensional the reverse details around the S are on the real example, then see how flat they are on the fake.

 

surface looks like it is a cast copy

 

It's screaming fake at me.

 

It's not even a good fake.

 

I would buy it if it was graded. Looks fake.

 

Fake

 

Looks like fake to me. The shield on the reverse doesn't look right. Definitely bogus. Not even a good fake.

 

I'll follow the crowd on this one! Looks fake!

 

Really mushy and what's up with the denticles?

 

The mintmark is wrong, the denticles look strange and not at all like the genuine article, and it looks cleaned/polished to me. Too many danger signals; leave it alone.

 

Worst fake mintmark I've ever seen

 

My exact comment when I looked at it.

Not even a good fake. I'll pass.
