The 44-d/14-D would never fly, mostly because of the VDB on the shoulder (it hs to be scraped away). Also, such "kitchen magician" alterings using a razor blade would leave results that anyone with a reasonable IQ and some 'coin sense' would find lacking. However, if someone with a deft hand and some silversmithing experience could easily alter a 1924 into a 1921-tho the date configuration would never equal a 1921. But, you'd have to know what the configuration is for 1921 to easily spot the alteration...

If anyone still cares: the date configuration of a 1921 Dime has the date slanting upwards to the right-like no other Dime to be considered for alteration to 1921 (e.g.: 1924, 1927). And it can't really be those two dates, as starting in 1923 the rims are thinner and the dishiness of the field to the rim had disappeared. So, if your 1921 Dime has a slanting date-the odds of it being non-altered are very good

Thank you for that piece of information.

I have added it to my notes.
