09SVDB Opinions Please?

Bad pictures,
But the designers initials looks to have the period to close to the "D".
Looks to have the deep valley "N" in UNITED?
opinions?

If the dot between the D and B isn’t centered then there is no chance it’s an authentic SVDB.

Appears to be a fake '09S VDB.... Cheers, RickO

Hard pass.

Looks very fake without even addressing the specific diagnostics.
“Hard pass” indeed.

"Looks fake", etc. Not IMO helpful to poster & s/he does not learn from such.

This is not my area, but I would say on at least a couple of points:

1 - color looks off
2 - the metal on obverse in this blurry picture looks like the "planchet" cast, or something similar
3 - obverse device (Lincoln) image is fuzzy for apparent "grade"
4 - obverse and reverse don't match - entire surface of obverse pocked and pitted, reverse not at all
5 - lettering on reverse looks very/too soft at top, esp "PLU" of PLURIBUS
6 - wheat grain ends to top of each very blurry without crispness

Lots more, but these are a few. I can not make out the V.D.B. for certain on this coin as it blends or bleeds into rim.

I would pass on this one.

I just confirmed the listing has been taken down, Poof! its gone.
I had pretty much put it on the counterfeit side of the fence myself.
