1909-s VDB

IMO you are correct. The spacing of the letters/numbers are way off for starters.

Here is a slab of the same generation in Heritage's history.

I'd say fake. If one goes to all the trouble to fake the plastic, why not take a little time and do the fake insert better?

Doesn't look right.

Obvious fake

I have never seen a PCGS AU58 Red either. If it was that red and PCGS liked it, I think it would have made unc.

Greetings,

After noticing this thread, I decided to look up the certification number of this coin: http://www.pcgs.com/Cert/26913158/ . This is showing up as a Barber Dime.

The image of the coin itself also does not look right and this new seller has 0 feedback. Also, this seller does not accept PayPal and is only accepting checks/money orders, which is also suspicious tactic used by scammers because at least PayPal has Buyer Protection. I've decided to ban this member/IP, and remove the listing off USA Coin Book as it looks fake.

Kind regards

You looked up the wrong cert number.

it looks funny, fake.

You're right Placid, this was the wrong number. I copied and pasted the number that the seller listed on the description, but it looks like the number from the image is different.

Looks like PCGS A U58.

Being almost full red and a 58 is odd too.

MsMorrisine

the label is quite obviously fake.
