Opinions on this 1914-D

I'm just looking for some CT'ers opinions on this coin, and NO, I did not bid on it.

Damaged at best. Pass.

 

possibly a fake, too hard to tell because of all the issues around the date - definitely not one to waste money on.

 

Definate pass, the MM may have been altered. Only buy a slabbed 14D or from a reputable dealer. It's just not worth trying to save bucks with raw key date IMO.

EDIT - On second look, that is definately faked. Nothing about it looks right even outside the date, looks like an altered 40's cent.

 

That would be a big NO


I agree with the question as to the authenticity

 

OUCH! What are the chances of a coin unintentionally incurring THAT type of damage, directly on the important part of the date???? I smell a rat. A BIG one.

am I the only one who thinks they see a potential "vdb" on lincoln's shoulder?

 

Looks fishy...

Quacks like a duck... It's a duck...

Good thing on not bidding

 

Actually if you look closely at the lighter obverse photo, I see what looks like V D B on the bust, which confirms the coin as being a forgery. Probably 1944D modified.

I agree with Desert Jim- absolute fako

 

Hint
Look at the spacing on the date

 

Wonder why he is shipping UPS ground, it is not like it is 20 lbs... LOL!
