Good education on this coin. For me, this coin is special, I found one when I was about 11 years old in New Mexico out in the desert and came across a two stone high rock house foundation, dug around it and from then on I collected coins.

 The spacing on "44" of date is a dead giveaway!! |

It always surprises me how many people have done this over the years. Are some of them just having a joke or are there really that many cretons out there trying to cheat people.

Yeah, I found one when I was about 14 years old. Took it to my barber who was a collector and set me straight. Really bummed me out as my household was not very well off.

14 altered date 1944-D
1 carved D
1 added mint mark
1 struck

It is fairly impressive tooling. You can see a faint top edge of the removal under scope but there is hardly a blemish to the base.

Very impressive! I never thought of picking images off ebay when I see bad coins. Great idea! |
