Looks mighty fake to me!
I agree with kazuma78. I think it's either AU58 or brown unc. Those of you grading it VF need to check out the sharpness of the wheat stalks and...

One other comment about the 1950-D. It's what got me back into collecting after 10 years off for college. I went into a coin shop in Jackson, MS,...
