Counterfeit VBD 1909 S ?
Thank you for you help - please find attached images of coin I picked up in an auction that I am not certain is real. I am not an avid collector but thought this was a "find" - not certain if the images are clear enough - thank you

Nothing can be seen using current images, please provide clearer images.
May I ask how much you paid for this coin?

Please watch my video to take better images, I can't see your coin at all.

Ok watched video - thank you - and here are "better" images - thanks for all you do - watch you all the time on YouTube - thanks for that -
Re: Counterfeit VBD 1909 S ?
I can ask although it is an auction house so not sure - think they only "broker" - I had picked up some things in previous auction which I tested as being genuine at least in silver content - this was a kind of fluke thing I bid on and won - thanks for all the support

Re: Counterfeit VBD 1909 S ?
Your images are too dark and get fuzzy when zooming to see details.
A trick to make the camera focus on the coin is included in the setup pictured at the link below. Please understand if we cannot see the details we need to examine, there is no way to tell if this is real or fake.

Pay special attention to the details in that photo setup picture. It's not hard to do, but if the details are not followed you get an out of focus picture.
