[QUOTE="pascomark, post: 943339, member: 25803"]AND the verdict back from NGC is.............................................................."1909-S Indian 1C Not encapsulated altered mintmark" Rat doo doo. So it looks like those of you that looked at it and said "real" were right. It is a real 1909. But those of you who said "fake" were right, because the mint mark was added. I am not a happy camper. I bought this a long time ago and have no record of which dealer to take it back to. This was a HARD lesson to learn. I thought I knew what I was doing and learned the hard way. I will admit I am curious as to how and when it was made and if there is any interesting story behind it other than got taken. Who knows, maybe the dealer didn't know either. Thanks to all who took a look. PS anyone know anyone who collects high quality fakes??? :-) pps, one small bright spot. the other 1909-S Indian I sent in to NGC came back VF-20 BN. I thought is was on the high end of Fine so at least my XF/VF collection is not empty that slot.[/QUOTE]
