it looks like an altered 1944. too large a space between the 9 and what was the 4 (but now a 1) as stated by others above.

Watch those shady online sellers. Tell us who seller is so we can avoid them.

Thanks for all the responses to my question.
I hope to add a VF 1914-D to my collection later this year. It's been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. I'm saving my money now.
But I want to make sure I get an authentic example.

Even if it was genuine, it would be impossible to authenticate based on that one horrible photo.

This coin has to be slabbed to purchase.

How can you tell it is fake? I have a 1914d and am wondering what to look for that makes it fake as opposed to real. I actually have a whole set of wheat pennies my wife inherited. It is a complete set from 1909 -1941 |

-----"How can you tell if it's fake?"
You could play a football game in that huge area between the "9" and the second "1" in the date. The "D" is too big. If it WAS a legit coin the pictures would be better and it would be in a slab.
That's how I tell it's a fake.

Even with the crappy pic I can tell it's simply an altered 1944D. Do the collecting world a favor and cut it in half.
