Actually, it's a bit of a joke. It came in with a bag of other wheaties. When I looked at it, it sure looked like a 1914-D. But under a loupe, the damaged 4 clearly came out.
I thought you all might like seeing this pic.
Heck, perhaps someone might take care actually buying a damaged coin like this thinking it was a 1914-D.

Most shops I know of have an album of counterfeits/ altered dates that they show to people when they come in trying to sell this stuff. It sure helps to defuse situations sometimes when the customer isn't always right.

Yeah, it's the ultra rare cross-let second 1.  I'll bet it was good for a brief adrenaline burst. Edited by dave700x

This one is obviously a 1944 but for a questionable 1914D that is not so clear cut, look for a small triangular opening on the D mintmark. That mintmark style was used from 1911 to 1933. All other D mintmarks have either a rounded or semi-circular opening.

I agree. It is a 1944-D with a lot of damage.

I can't see the 'vdb', but I'm guessing it is an altered 44-D

I found my own one of these recently in a mixed lot off wheats/buffaloes of ebay. At first when I saw it I got excited, but sadly it looks to be another road-rashed '44-D. Opinions?   |
