Is it geniune??

Looks like a genuine penny to me....

VDB is in the right place, and I think the S is the correct shape and in one of the correct position. Would need a close-up to see the die markers.

The V.D.B. looks odd to me. It looks like it stands out and is brighter than th rest of the devices. I am probably just paranoid, though.

You will need to get a closer image of the mintmark. I don't think it's genuine.

The placement of the V looks odd to me as it is further north of the rim then the D and B.

take a close look at the s................make sure it's not a glue-on

added S

closer pic of S

I believe the S is a glue on. IMHO

I think it's real, but I'd put a drop of acetone on the S to see if it comes off.

<< <i>I think it's real, but I'd put a drop of acetone on the S to see if it comes off. >>

I dug at the S hard with my finger nail seems pretty tight if glued, I'll try acetone tomorrow.

Looks genuine from here now that I have pictures big enough to see.
