What I see:
The D seems more centered between the 9 and 1 than on all the others.
The front, top of hair is flatter than the others.
Eye looks odd. No wrinkle/shadow coming down from where eye/nose connect. Eyelid is larger, line under eye is different.
Cheek/jaw bones are hard to distinguish (not sure about light angle compared to others).
Some of this could be wear &tear on the one in question or lighting angle.

Enlarging the original image, the D seems to dip slightly to the left. I don't see this in any of the genuine examples.

I think I can see something where the VDB shouldn't be. Can't tell for Sure.

The front curl of the hair looks wrong for ODV-004 (1912-14). The bow tie looks wrong. This could be wear, but it looks wrong. @Coinfrog and @Cujohn already noted the slanted mm and mystery where the VDB would be on the 1918-later shoulder. It may be genuine, but there are too many red flags for comfort.

Like already noted to many red flags. The nose I really do not like. So I will not go to spend 400 bucks for this one. Thanks everyone.

It looks off to me also . letters are different , Lincoln looks like he's smiling . Not so on genuine 14-D . Nose ,lips and eyes look different from genuine 14-D's .  |

Very interesting analysis everyone, my little qualm is definitions again...
Counterfeit means the entire coin is fake, whereas,
Alteration means the coin is genuine, but messed with somehow.
So my vote is genuine (I see a woody cent here) but perhaps altered, but not 100% sure.

mrwhatisit. You are right, I never thought about it that way. I guess when I see a faked coin I just automatically call it counterfeit.

Not altered, that's pretty clear.

Thank you all for the comments. I think was a good topic to see and learn more. Like I say before I will not go bid for to risk for ephemeras. This coin will go over 800, and I do not like to risk such.. Could be fake or real one: but I will stay conservative. Another days will come and other coins will be around. I miss this year but better clean den with dirty regrets.
