When I first saw this (listed in a local auction) I thought the mint mark seemed off. However, when I look through CoinFacts photos, I think maybe it’s OK. Perhaps the date and mint mark have simply been flattened a bit. What do you think?

The coin looks genuine to me.

Seems fine from the photo.

Looks genuine, but you could easily find a better looking one…

I agree with the others, it looks genuine and for the grade range it’s not a bad looking coin. 👍

Of course I can easily find a better looking one. Finding a better looking example for the same money would be the challenge.

This date trading for around $200 if not flawed and good color with just a light bit of wear. '09-S Lincolns that are nice like I just described are not all that abundant. When they appear on the market they sell quickly.
