1909-S Lincoln Wheat Cent

I believe this coin to be genuine. Do you agree?

Obviously a details grade coin.

I’m no expert, but I would think it’s genuine. Too bad the VDB has worn off!

 

I am not an expert either. But the first thing I noticed is serious wear on everything but the mint mark. Just my observation.

 

I can't tell if you're joking. 1825000 1909-S cents were minted without the VDB. It's still more valuable than most of the other S wheat cents though.

 

I would agree that it looks like a genuine cent. It's got some faint woodgrain toning.

 

Yes to genuine. Yes to details. Yes to a good filler in a folder.

 

It doesn't stand out like that in person. Here's a different lighting position.

 

The lighting does make a difference. I withdraw my observation and go with genuine.
