Here is a nice looking 1909 S V.D.B Lincoln cent that grade about in the AU rating. Would you buy this coin for $900.00? How about $700.00?

Not without an in hand examination...the MM position doesn't look quite right to me

For $700.00 seems like a deal but I would have CAC check it out first. Why is it not slabbed. I might have to verify first. If it is authentic then .YEA

Looks like a very nice coin, but an in hand inspection,with a return policy would be nice, If I had the money i'd be tempted!:)

I hate counterfeits! You didn't happen to buy that one, BJ? Nice looking counterfeit, but still a counterfeit.

Would you believe that both the S mint mark and the V.D.B. have been added to this coin? Yes, it is definitely a counterfeit and a fairly good one at that. No, I did not buy it:LOL_Hair:

The VDB just did not look right for me. That was some attempt at raising some green.

I'm not versed in counterfeits but the beard looked awful weird to me for some reason.

I dont trust the S . looks like a later version of S. the date also looks to be off slightly in my eyes. I wouldnt part with my money over this if its raw. and without more research on the slab # its in.
