That VDB seems a bit too large? It's got hairlines on the reverse. I don't believe the reverse wear is the same as the obverse wear. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, Crapshoot but it won't grade. bob

Fake, fake, fake. It's not even close to the real thing.
1. TRUS? Real 1909 cents aren't weak there, thus no reason for the last T to be missing. 2. VDB is the wrong size, wrong shape. 3. Mintmark isn't right. 4. Rims are too rounded. 5. The reverse style is a later style.
Even if the coin was real (which it certainly is NOT) it wouldn't pass muster at any grading service because it's buffed. It's not even as-struck...well, probably because it wasn't struck to begin with.
Now...$30? I'd pay that for a good cast counterfeit. Educational piece, good to show around for warning sake, good to use in class for counterfeit detection, etc.
I collect ocean liner and airship memorabilia in addition to coins. I once bought a 1915 New York Times with the Lusitania sinking on the front page from a seller on eBay. It was from a blurry photo, but they had a return policy. When I received it, it turned out to be a reproduction (when you opened it, it had a front page from a WWII NYT printed on the back side, and the other pages were repros of famous NYT front pages). The seller at first refused to take it back, but after I threatened them with a neg they agreed. They swore up and down it was not a reproduction, despite the fact that a headline from WWII was printed on the same piece of paper as the Lusitania headline. I returned it to them. A couple of weeks later, I see the exact same paper listed as authentic back on eBay. I reported it numerous times and called eBay to tell them the story, but was told that it was my word against the seller's because I wasn't a known expert on the subject. The auction ran to the end, and the fake paper sold again.
Since then, I've looked at reporting things to eBay as an exercise in futility...
