I am still convinced that the coin is authentic. The seller has a high feedback rating and agreed to refund my money I wanted. We worked out a deal and he is going to send it to me to view in hand and then if it's fake, he will allow me to return it and offer a full refund. Let's hope it's real!
No, it did't have a die break. It was a clean, problem free coin with a solid strike.

No die break may mean it is not real.

I will email the seller again and see if he can email me the pictures directly. I will post them here if he does for comments and thoughts. Thanks again!

The monkeys stand for honesty, Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but They're dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical Of changes in their cages,
And the zoo keeper is very fond of rum.

Well, I received my 1914-D Lincoln today (the one Ebay removed after I won it because someone reported it fake) and it's authentic. After seeing it in hand, I was almost positive it was real. I took it down to my local coin shop and had two guys there look at it as well, as they both agreed without a doubt it was authentic. It grades out a solid VF-20. It may have been cleaned in the past, but overall, a nice looking coin for a good price. Interesting, eh?
I will try to post some pictures later.

That's nothing new and I don't think it's going to stop because of demand. Some people collect them as novelties and unfortunately, some turn around and sell them as authentic and that's when a new collector gets
