    I gave this 1909-S VDB the benefit of doubt since the photo / scan was taken through a flip. My mind tells me that it is 99.5 % a counterfeit, but for those who did bid on this auction, I hope that it is not.

    Not even close, it is a fake despite the fact that I could not get a close-up picture. This is a joke.image

    Scratches are on the coin, right? If you didn't think it was fake before, the scratches are a dead giveaway. Someone deliberately defaced it because it's fake. image

    No.

    Comments?
    As sorry as those auction images are,it is still possible to tell that the piece being offered is a fake.

    Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the
    birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will
    precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you
    come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you
    who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in
    poverty and it is you who are that poverty."--- Gospel of Thomas (Lamdin translation)
