<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bones-65, post: 8236562, member: 136030&quot;]No, there is no mint mark on that 09VDB. I&#039;ve spent a lot of time over the past year+ looking through the newly listed 09SVDB&#039;s on ebay looking for fakes or altered ones, and I find a LOT of them LoL!</p><p>And from time to time I&#039;ll find a new ebay seller that will use so much magnification looking for the Holy Grail SVDB makers that they&#039;ll find a slight imperfection on surface of the coin that they can find something that looks like an S under the date. But you can run up the magnification and find LOTS of alpha bits on a coin, P&#039;s, Z&#039;s etc.... There was other problems with that coin as I remember that made it not a genuine SVDB. This is a case where people see a phantom mint mark. They&#039;ll ZOOM, tilt, move the light, until the see what they want. So, far with these I been pretty successful in dealing with the sellers directly using ebay messaging.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now on the pierced ear Lincoln, when I saw the sharp detail and the soft wood grain and the price, I just like it for an upgrade. I did get exact coin but in hand that wonderful wood grain didn&#039;t make the grade in the coin image, but its still a very nice coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
