Question about one Ebay seller.

I have purchased several coins from a seller on ebay. But as I look at the coins closer, they all appear to have some kind of coating on the coins. Before I start buying some biger ticket items, I would like some feedback on what I am seeing. I please need some help with some feedback.

First I would check the authenticity of the 14 D. I cant seem to overlay just a farmer's mm position photo. The 4 looks off...not an expert and wait for others to chime in..

 

Another photo of the 5 mm positions of the 1914 D. LWC from justafarmer post. For educational purposes only.

I was thinking maybe a Polish wax like Renaissance Wax Amazon.com: Renaissance Wax Polish , 200 ml: Home Improvement

 

There seems to be a depression around the D as if it was pressed on the coins rather than coming from the die like all the other devices.

 

IMO you don't buy a key coin unless it's slabbed.
Or you definitely know it's legit -- and unaltered.

 

Very interesting comments. I learn a lot from coin talk. Thanks to everyone.
