1909-S Lincoln: Genuine?

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. 👍

    Yes.

    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.

    Einstein’s view of God was non-traditional and pantheistic, focusing on the harmony, order, and intelligibility of the cosmos rather than a personal deity. His quotes reveal a profound respect for the universe’s mysteries, a belief in rational laws, and a moral philosophy grounded in compassion and understanding, bridging science and spirituality.

    “My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.”

    Albert Einstein (14 March 1879--18 April 1955)
