Does this look right? 1909-S Indian on eBay

From one of our "favorite" eBay sellers, the following auction ends tonight; 351670763944
You can also find it through the search; 1909-S XF avidly
Something about the planchet looks wrong. Also odd is how the "S" appears. It looks possibly added? I could be totally out to lunch but I thought it wouldn't hurt to run it by the good people here. Opinions anyone? Thanks!

So what do you think? Real, not real or maybe real?
from Rick Snow's Attribution Guide that look an awful lot alike to the Ebay coin.
Good eye.

It looks quite similar to a spark-erosion transfer counterfeit. Below are some photos

Good catch.
The eBay coin appears to have a bag mark directly across the MM causing it to look similar to the counterfeit MM from Rick Snow. I'm not defending Great Southern, but be careful before declaring it a fake.

I know we all get pretty steamed over the unscrupulous element in the coin market and shared vigilance certainly is one of the best defenses we have.
When I was dealer, I was willing to buy these coins raw, but I always got them certified before I would sell them.
Ok, so I am cautious.
