Is My 1909 S VDB Genuine? (Take 2 on the pictures)

Hello,

I wanted to see if you all thought this was a genuine 1909 s VDB. I've dealt mostly in silver coins so this is a relatively new area for me. Any evaluative input is welcome. Let me know if there's anything additional you need. Thanks!

Wheredya get it

 

I bought it at a local coin auction.

 

No. It is not a genuine 1909-S VDB.

 

What did u pay?

 

That "S" sure looks funny to me. I cannot make out enough to say it is fake - particularly on a coin that deteriorated. Take a look here and maybe you can see something. http://www.cointalk.com/t78043/

 

I believe it to be an added MM. Sorry.

Can you get a cleared shot of the MM.. (closer yet clear?)

 

I am sorry to say, but I am certain it is not genuine VDB S

The reverse appears like it may be a Philly VDB

100% fake, no doubt in my mind....sorry.

 

still NG.

 

The S mintmark looks too large, and notice on the reverse: A genuine 1909-S VDB has the N in UNITED ibulging at the bottom, not sharp and well-angled. Your lacks this diagnostic as well.

Best Regards, :hail:
