That's what I thought too, the color is more pinkish, can't capture the true color in the pictures, and it also only weighs 3.09.. but the woman I bought it from swears it real. I've compared it to several and I just can't tell

Are the two naturally-colored reverse images from the same coin? Please show us larger images of the obverse in particular, in the most correct color you can manage.  to the CF! |

Tiny pics, hard to tell much except that it has very cleaned with an brillo pad - one of the ugliest cents I've ever seen. Not really worth anything in that condition if the obverse pictures are accurate.

Appears to be a cast counterfeit. Heavily scratched to hide any uneven surfaces.

Sorry, that doesn't help. We need a cropped, straight-on MUCH LARGER pic of the obverse.  |

. I am no pro, but it just doesn't look right to me. I hope it is not genuine because of the very harsh cleaning it has gone through. John1  |

Here is my PCGS VF-35 straight graded one to compare:  Yours looks like it took a bit hit on cleaning. A dead giveaway is to see if you can spot a VDB on the shoulder of Lincoln's coat at the bottom left. Genuine 14-Ds do not have his initials, altered from 1944-Ds do. The date digits do indeed look thin and unnatural so I lean towards not genuine based on others responses. Edited by mrwhatisit

All I can gather is the MM doesn't look right and or in the right position . Whether it's real or fake that coin took some brutal scrubbing .   |

I agree - the MM is in the wrong position., and looks harshly cleaned

Yes, appears to me the mint mark is in the wrong position.
