<p>[QUOTE=&quot;onlysdad, post: 76795, member: 2103&quot;]I&#039;ve a 1914-D Lincoln just arrived.&nbsp; Probably grades G, though sold as VG.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t think it likely to be counterfeit in this grade/price range, but I thought I would look it up in the PCGS Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection book anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>My 1914-D has no sign of VDB on the shoulder, and the mint mark shape is similar to the illustration in the PCGS book.&nbsp; Nothing seems alarming about the way the mint mark is attached to the field of the coin (looking through a 20x stereo microscope).</p><p><br /></p><p>But the PCGS book shows a picture of a genuine 1914-D with a die break connecting the rim to the bust, roughly below &quot;1&quot; in the date.&nbsp; I can&#039;t see this die break on my coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone know if this die-break must be present for the coin to be genuine (or just is present on some but not all genuine coins)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
