Yeah I was going to say it looks like a modified 1944 d. the 9 and supposed 1 look too far apart, and you can see the remains of the 4.

Definately altered 44D. Do collectors a favor and cut it in half.

I have been thinking about putting a set of fake coins together, just for education purpose.
It would be nice to mark them as fake

The gap between the 9 and the 1 (altered 4) is very obvious. I really do like the idea of putting together a collection of imposter's, but I'm certain most here would agree, the coins should be engraved on the obverse with an X or COPY or something to note it is not genuine.

I saw the big old gap between the 19 and 14 instantly. You can still see the ghost of the first 4.

Yeah, thats visible a mile away. I agree on marking it. This one should be obvious to all but the very raw beginner.

Agreeing with everyone else. My first thought was "rolling machine," but either way, I would've called it as a 44.
I would recommend you buy yourself an engraving pen and mark your counterfeits. These pens are relatively inexpensive and very efficient (my grandma was a china painter and caster and used one of these to number her pieces), and will allow you to mark these clearly.

You would not be the first. Many people are already doing just that. Due to so many fakes around, it is becoming a hobby in itself to collect them. |

Definitely looks like a 1944 d that has been made to look like a 1914 d

I have been thinking about putting a set of fake coins together, just for education purpose. Sounds like fun. One of the dealers at the coin show this weekend had a cool counterfeit album at his table, with a clear NOT FOR SALE written on the cover. A lot of interesting stuff in there, some of it really scared me. So, if you do this, just make sure you keep the set well labeled and prevent it from getting into the wrong hands. Otherwise...
