MorganMike Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 3:58 pm Going through my Lincoln Cent book and decided to take a closer look at my 14-D. It doesn't look like a modified '44-D and the D looks in the right place and type, but it is slightly tilted so I'm not sure. Any 14-D experts out there? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 193736 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 4:10 pm Looks like the D took a hit, creating the illusion of the slant more than it is. Compare with these. I think #6? https://goccf.com/t/252833 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21815 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 4:18 pm Looks good to me. Most counterfeits I've seen, the D is closer to the 9. Report this Post to the Staff
MorganMike Valued Member United States 63 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 4:28 pm Jbuck thanks for the reference pics! Mine sure looks like #6 Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 193736 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 4:37 pm My pleasure. I loaded images of yours, mine, and #6 in different layers in Paint.NET. Different wear and what-not makes it challenging, but they all seem to line up.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15801 Posts	Posted 09/18/2025 8:06 pm Excuse me for interrupting the party - but why is this thread in the US classic & colonials forum. My input on the coin is it looks legit but I'm no expert. It would be great to uncover a true 1914-D LWC in that condition. I do say with certainty that this post needs to move to US Modern coins.
