IMHO It's fake . I agree with Bad Thad about the fields .  |

I dunno. That MM position sure looks good. Not that I'd consider buying it raw, mind you.

I agree, this looks like a high jacked account. Someone is going to get burned for 2500 bucks.

Is there a way to seatch the PCGS database for matching images? Perhaps the seller lifted the images from there?

the coin appears to be real but that's about all I can say. looks like obv die #5. I agree about the overexposed surfaces could be hiding something. if this is a clean coin with no surface issues it could be MS66 or even higher. why a coin like this is not slabbed is also a concern

Looks genuine, but the lighting might be hiding problem surfaces. The seller's feedback shows he was a seller of early BU Lincolns and IHC's in past years, and he also purchased some coins from GSC. It also shows a cancelled sale of a 1914-D gem BU Lincoln in the past, perhaps the same coin? I suspect it's cleaned or recolored, and that's why it's raw. |

The seller also has a second high end 1914-D for sale for $2,200. What does everyone think about the grainy area near the reverse rim above EPU and the "R" in PLURIBUS? |

Wouldn't be surprised if the coin was reworked/smoothed/tooled and recolored then photographed to hide the work. The coin does look really good, but something about the pebbly surfaces just doesn't sit well with me |

The luster looks disturbed to me - either whizzed or wiped perhaps.
This is too big of a coin to buy raw in my opinion.

Something about the reverse field at the top left of the "O" in "ONE" has me perplexed. It is not a uniform surface.
If I'm spending a fishing trip to New Zealand's worth of $ on a coin it's going to be certified and graded, no questions asked. This seller should have done the same, as it's a small cost to incur relative to the asking price.

@IndianGoldEagle, what is a highjacked ebay account all about? I have never heard of this! |
