Just pointing personalities out since you are new here. Actually I respect the opinions of everyone who has posted here for you. I would say all of them are knowledgable, well respected members, (myself excluded )

The price is good if it is real - IF. However, that S looks to be in the wrong position to me. Here is a link to a picture (and other info) to help identify real/fakes S VDB's. There are only 4 positions the S can be in. This looks like none of tehm to me.

good call

 

Why are you puzzled? You are attempting to buy perhaps the most widely counterfeited US coin of all time and you can't tell the diagnostics for yourself and thus are relying on unknown, largely anonymous internet users. This is a recipe for disaster. Buy one already certified.

 

My advise, listen to Tom B.... he knows his stuff.

If he tells me to pass, I don't give it a second thought.

 

Tom B hopefully seller can get it graded if it passes it will be a good buy at 200 euros and me payin for grading if not least i didn't take a shot in the dark and miss.Sound for all the advice lads good thing i found this site and get very good advice,

Spot on lads will let ye know how things go!

 

CLOSE UPS FROM SELLER S MINT MARK and V.D.B

 

nooooo don't buy its fake..

 

and even if its real its corroded and poorly damaged

 

get it graded if it

 

It's fake.

 

So where the verdigris isn't it was cleaned off?

 

Right since it a fake not worth trying to get graded if incase it might be or million ye pecent its a fake!?

What kind of fake s added later.vdb added?

 

Whole coin is a fake. Not even worth considering.

 

Excellent advice

 

Problem coin in more ways than one. That S is not in the right place for her, corrosion is a set off from the beginning and many other suspect issues.

Stay away and try again.

 

The mint mark is not the correct shape. The coin is not a genuine 09-S VDB.

 

It's doesn't look right plus the asking price is way too low. I would walk away.

 

I just saw the close ups. The "corrison" speckles looks like it was sprayed on.
