    on another coin forum that i,m a member of a fake 1914d penny was spotted being sold on ebay as the real thing..i knew as soon as i saw it that it was possible for a great number of 1914d fake pennies to offered for sale...so i carved a fake and posted it on the other forum and now here...most collectors look for the wide space between the 9 and 1,the penny being offered on ebay did have the wide spacing between the 9 and 1 this won,t work all the time because i moved the metal over to get a 1 closer to the 9, i hope this helps coin collectors from being decieved...[ps] this coin has copy engraved very deep and big on reverse..

    Would the relative lack of wear on the mintmark by typical of one made this way?
