Is this a counterfeit 1909S VDB?

So, at the PCGS booth they will Just give me a verbal grade and authentication. Right?

I believe they have certain hours which they offer the service. All you have to do is ask them or listen for the announcements on the PA.

So was this from a bag of wheats or from the credit union???

A bag of wheats from a dealer. Crazy, right!

So, I submitted it to PCGS a few weeks ago and I just got it back! I am ecstatic to report it come back GENUINE! Whoo! It came back VF 35 which is a little lower than I expected but at least is it the real deal! Here's the picture!

Hey, you can't complain about a VF-35 1909-S VDB when you paid 1 cent for it. Congrats on the slabbing.

I would send it in ASAP.....To a grading company. That could be a very expensive coin. It all looks consistent to me. I'm no pro though. But I would think if it were counterfeit then the mint mark would differ in color and wear than the rest of the coin. And for being 104 years old it has very little wear. Anacs is cheaper in the short run but pcgs is known to have higher premiums than others. Which is debatable of course. Coins are a volatile but pleasant market.

Never mind to my other post. I just saw this is an older thread with several pages. Congrats! I was hoping to find one the other day but most of what I got was a corroded 1910 s and it helped my date run.
