I recently purchased a 1912 S and someone had thought it might possible be a counterfeit. It looks real to me but he thought the mint mark looked funny. What do you think? Thanks in advance.

I don't see anything glaringly wrong that would indicate it is counterfeit, but the pics you provided are a bit small for me to make certain determinations. The date looks good, but I just can't make a certain determination on the mint mark without a closer focused picture. If you are able to do that, then could you provide a close-up of the lower vest too while you are at it?

I can't tell by the picture size, but maybe this link will help.

Based on what I see, it looks to be genuine.
