Has the look of some of the contemporary counterfeits I've seen.
To add, I own a 19D that turned up in an accumulation I was buying (I got it as a freebie), and have since seen a number of different dates and mm's from the teens, mostly ~XF, like this one. I'd love to know the story behind them.

That is a modern counterfeit from China. The 'S' mintmark is the quickest give-away.

Fake, and a horrible one at that.
