If you are going to buy this raw, you have to be familiar with what the mintmark should look like. I would probably take a look at a Counterfeit Detection guide and look at some certified examples. One benefit to learning to authenticate this coin, is you will also be learning to authenticate the 1916-D dime. Both coins used the same mintmark punch. |

vermontensium,
Could you take a close-up photo of the VDB on the shoulder of the altered 44-d?
I would like to see it if possible.
Thank you.

seriously buy a slabbed one and then crack it. Don't buy a raw one

BTW this will be coin in hand NOT online photo buying or from a Chinese coin shop. Good call.  I really want to buy this one raw as well, but my options have become increasingly limited; all of the ones I am finding are already slabbed. |
