Quote:but it is not a genuine 1914-D. This is what is known as an altered date 1914-D Lincoln Wheat penny So the seller explains it's altered but it still goes for almost $200? Don't people know how to read anymore ?

That auction turned up when I did an exonumia search for "Lake Charles". Never had the seller's city show up like that before.

Hondo, did you report it as a forgery as well as being an ungraded coin selling for $2,300?
I've just reported it as a forgery.
