<p>[QUOTE="justafarmer, post: 3211113, member: 3926"]Sorry - I get kinda busy this time of year. I'll go at this one with a slightly different approach using a dissected mapping tool looking at each 1909 S VDB obverse one at a time. Keep in mind the following tools can verify a counterfeit with a high level of assurance. As for verifying an authentic coin - this tool only provides the specific obverse die one should focus on when authenticating a coin. Following is the dissected tool I will employ.</p><p> [ATTACH=full]833746[/ATTACH]</p><p>Following is the dissected map of the 1909 date absent of the mint marks overlaid onto the OP's coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]833747[/ATTACH] </p><p>View the circle and cross hairs as a rifle scope.
