How many different obverse working dies were used for striking the 1914-D Lincoln Cent? Maybe we the people of Cointalk can figure it out. Below is a picture of the obverse of one die from an earlier thread. It is the same die as mine. Post pictures of your 1914-D Lincoln Cents – especially if you have an example struck from a different working die.
I've read where they were coined from 6 different obverse dies. Here's some other info you might find interesting; http://www.cointalk.com/t76229/ http://www.cointalk.com/t9716/
This has been brought up previously, but, of course, I cannot find it. I think the answer is 4 or 6. But, anyway, that was not a picture post - or at least I don't think so. Anyway, here are a couple pictures I came across. Also, one of the major authenticators is a die crack from the front of the bust to the rim. You can just make it out in the third picture. This is not a negative indicator (i.e. - it must be present to be authentic), but a positive indicator (i.e. - if present, it is likely real).
1914-D Authentic? just wondering if anyone could tell me if this coin is authentic pic is of one coin different angles thanks for any / all info
I don't believe that the one above me is authentic. Most of all authentic 14' D's I've seen had a nice little gap between the D and the 9. Its almost like someone took a non rare 1914 P and stamped on a D. I'm sorry Got change.
I agree, I've NEVER seen one with the D that close to the date. Also, the D doesn't look right to me.
