We see plenty of 1909-S VDB counterfeits, but here's a 1909-S for a change:
Edit: Both the 1909-s counterfeit and the 1972 DDO counterfeit found by @braddick have been removed by eBay. Thank you for reporting!

We can still use more reports to have both of these counterfeits removed from eBay. Thanks for your help!
And this seller is a coin shop? wow is all I can say.

vegas baby!
What does "Done" mean?
I would presume "reported."
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
That 1909-S is a horrible counterfeit.The maker of it needs to find a new hobby.

1st listing is a large account and may take a while; 2nd listing was removed.
It would fool you.
Correct. The post to which I replied “Done” had said:

Just took a little more time for the large seller- gone now.
I've got the Harsche reference to help identify 1909-S LC counterfeit. If you don't have one, get one before it gets impossible to find. Don't be left behind. According to Harsche, there are six distinct 's' positions for authentic 1909-S LC, and the OP coin ain't one of them. Now you know.

It didn't help you identify your 1909 S VDB it only confused you more.
Now now, you two - let's have no harshe words...
Now that was funny @IkesT !
Suit yourself. Harsche was a pioneer in identifying die varieties of the 1909-S and 1909-SVDB LC. He listed three dies used for 1909-S VDB when actually there are four. Harsche never saw the 4th one, the scarcest one. In any event, all four 1909 S VDB 's' mintmark positions were used also for 1909-S without VDB. My slabbed as genuine (by PCGS) 1909-S VDB, was a very deceptive, well-done counterfeit made by acid etching a "V.D.B." onto a genuine 1909-S cent from Harsche obverse #die 6 (s far low, far right) a die which was unknown to have been used for genuine mint product 1909-S VDB. Fooled PCGS and fooled me for two years that I had the piece in my possession.
