[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 911217, member: 21705"]I was all set to go with Authentic and took an old Large Cent approach. I found an Authentic 1909-S for comparison. As far as I know, all 1909-S Indians have a single MM location and if I'm wrong about that, than disregard this. [IMG]http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/SMintmark.jpg[/IMG] Please note the distance above the denticles and the location of the MM verses the denticles as extended. [IMG]http://i788.photobucket.com/albums/yy168/MBryant31958/1909-SIndianCentSEnlarged.jpg[/IMG] Now this is a bit fuzzy, but note the distance on the subject coin is closer to the denticle and the S is closer to the break between denticles than the comparison coin. I therefore have to go with either Fake or a new MM location.[/QUOTE]
