Insider,
Sorry about all the images as I am still getting use to the controls.

I missed this somehow. Anyhow, the D is wrong both location and probably shape. IMO, counterfeit

 

Many thanks

I think it is closer to VF. BTW, did you notice the coin was a counterfeit?

@GDJMSP See, even counterfeit coins have grades.

 

Yes I did, thanks to your help and am getting my money back.
The seller swears its real sooo I took some close ups of " GOD" and mint mark and it was pretty obvious.
I should have noticed it was a fugazi but after 3 single malts I fell asleep.
I owe you one !!
Thanks again

Looks counterfit to me.

Edit, I should've kept reading beyond the first post lol. Good catch insider

 

Those close-ups seal the deal on this being a fake, IMO.

 

I'm not knowledgable enough to comment on the coin's authenticity, but I know 14Ds have been driven down to rock bottom on ebay. I just sold an NGC VF25 for $239 and the most I see in completed listings is around $250. It's a buyer's market for sure!

 

VF detail but it doesn't appear to be a mint product to me. I would pass unless authenticated.

 

It has been. The shape and location of the "D" is not anything found on a genuine 14-D.

 

XF with environmental damage.

 

Also, the D looks odd to me.

 

I'm kind of late to the discussion, but I agree that it is counterfeit. On the reverse there is a bump/die defect on the left wheat ear (up and to the left of the "U" in "United") that is seen on a lot of counterfeit Lincoln cents of various dates.

 

yeah VG-8 Details. Scratched-Environmental Damage-Not Genuine. Lol
