Looking for some thoughts on a 1909-S Lincoln Cent

MVC

Looking for some thoughts on this 1909-S Lincoln Cent, such as real or fake. The coin looks odd to me, so I thought I would seek some other opinions. The coin weighs 3.05.

From the super close up of the mintmark, looks like it might be the FS-1502 S/Horizontal S variety.

Looks awful grainy, is that common on some of these?

a lot of early 1900s copper (both indians and lincolns) from SF had mixing issues that made the woodgrain appearance like that. Sometimes it is really spectacular (if you like that sorta look).
