When I first saw this (listed in a local auction) I thought the mint mark seemed off. However, when I look through CoinFacts photos, I think maybe it’s OK. Perhaps the date and mint mark have simply been flattened a bit. What do you think?

The coin looks genuine to me.

Looks genuine, but you could easily find a better looking one…

I agree with the others, it looks genuine and for the grade range it’s not a bad looking coin. 👍

Of course I can easily find a better looking one. Finding a better looking example for the same money would be the challenge.

This date trading for around $200 if not flawed and good color with just a light bit of wear. '09-S Lincolns that are nice like I just described are not all that abundant. When they appear on the market they sell quickly.
Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.
Yes, its genuine
