<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EdThelorax, post: 3269276, member: 99854&quot;]To say I was skeptical would be an understatement, especially considering the price it was listed at buy it now. The coin was raw, the listing photo made it looked cleaned. Here are&nbsp; 6 known die varieties showing the D. <img src="https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/uploaded/go-rebels/20160217_2016-02-17-14_36_33-The-6-obverse-dies-for-the-1914-d-Lincoln-Cent---Coin-Community-Forum---Page-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>The D on a 1914D Lincoln&nbsp; is the same on a 1916D Mercury Dime BTW.</p><p>The reasons I believe it to be genuine are:</p><p>1) The coin in hand has surfaces of a genuine coin. The traces of mint luster are hard to duplicate.</p><p>2) I bought the book it came from, the coins are genuine. The 19d 22d 25d are gem red, all the Denver mint coins from 11 to 27 are AU/Unc except the 20 and 24 </p><p>3) I have been conversing with the seller. He knows nothing about coins, but I am helping him learn so he doesn&#039;t make the same mistake again. He has shown me pics of some of the other sets he inherited. </p><p>4) I took the 14D to a show and all 6 dealers I showed it to believed it to be genuine.</p><p>5) My dealer and his brother, who weren&#039;t at the show, is a PCGS authorized dealer. He thinks it could catch a 63. The fields are untouched, it looks like it has some rub marks from the Whitman sliders and a touch of surface contamination. </p><p><br /></p><p>I thought it to be a 58 but trust my dealer&#039;s opinion more than my own.</p><p>It is going to be sent in to PCGS along with over a dozen others from the book.&nbsp; I will be sure to post the slabbed coin. Who knows how long that will be, PCGS is not known for their promptness especially with a trueview. </p><p>Thanks for your input.</p><p>Ed[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
