Photo a little dark, kind of hard to see. But it appears to be in good shape; from what I can see. I would say you did fine .

It looks like a 1944 d, did you get your dremel out again?

Yup that stands out like a sore thumb although I bet it would still sell on ebay as a filler. |

Yeah I was going to say it looks like a modified 1944 d. the 9 and supposed 1 look too far apart, and you can see the remains of the 4.

Definately altered 44D. Do collectors a favor and cut it in half.

I have been thinking about putting a set of fake coins together, just for education purpose.
It would be nice to mark them as fake

The gap between the 9 and the 1 (altered 4) is very obvious. I really do like the idea of putting together a collection of imposter's, but I'm certain most here would agree, the coins should be engraved on the obverse with an X or COPY or something to note it is not genuine.

I saw the big old gap between the 19 and 14 instantly. You can still see the ghost of the first 4.

Yeah, thats visible a mile away. I agree on marking it. This one should be obvious to all but the very raw beginner.

Agreeing with everyone else. My first thought was "rolling machine," but either way, I would've called it as a 44.
I would recommend you buy yourself an engraving pen and mark your counterfeits. These pens are relatively inexpensive and very efficient (my grandma was a china painter and caster and used one of these to number her pieces), and will allow you to mark these clearly.
