    The authentic 1914-D from earlier in this thread.

    You are assuming that there is only 1 die pair used for this date. There were 4 used for the S VDB with 484K coins. There were at least that many used for the 1193K 1914-D's. The location of one "D" proves or disproves nothing.

    Your thread of hope is not strong enough to hang a spider from. That coins is a fake. All I am saying is that the location of a mintmark against a single reference proves nothing.

    Hope is dead. The original coin posted by the OP is a dead ringer for a modified date 1944 coin. Spacing of the date is the giveaway, as multiple people have suggested. If that coin is a real 1914-d, I'll give you my example -- that's how sure I am.

    I'm getting into this one a little late. I'm voting fake but RLM had me second guessing my original thought until the end of this thread.

    I agree with you. When I played around, pasting over the left part of the first 4 on a 1944 d. It sure came up looking like the OP pic. You guys sure are teaching me a lot !

    A quote from my first post;
    I have always though it a fake. I just cannot seem to find the niche it fits in.
