<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 131170, member: 1674&quot;]There are 4 obverse dies that were used to make the 09 S VDBs so for MM location to be diagnostic of a fake the coin would need to be compared to all 4 of the real ones.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have the time to hunt through the Heritage archives right now, so I won&#039;t judge the coin based on MM location, but I agree that it appears to be an added MM.&nbsp; The MM is too big and the lower portion is larger than the top portion.&nbsp; On a genuine 09SVDB the MM has a rectangular outline and this one&#039;s is more trapezoidal.&nbsp; Additionally the wear on the MM is inconsistent with the wear on the date.&nbsp; The MM is rounded on top and the date is worn flat on top; this is indicative that the MM hasn&#039;t received as much wear as the date because it was added to the coin after the coin was well circulated.&nbsp; A genuine coin has similar wear on the date and mint mark.&nbsp; It is my opinion that the coin is altered.</p><p><br /></p><p>May the buyer beware![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
