Maybe I Need Sleep...but This Sure Looks Like A Fake 14 D

I think it's just the way the picture was taken on an angle.
Looks o.k. to me.

I'd want the comfort of seeing it slabbed first.

Macro photography really distorts perspective when you shoot images on an angle. I have to assume that all spatial relationships depicted in these images are deceptively wrong.

With that said, and with no in-stock knowledge of mint mark placement and look for 1914-D, I do not trust that MM at all. Too insubstantial for a circulated coin - one would expect lettering to appear to thicken with age - and too low.

Mint marks on 1914 D can appear low.

Here is mine.

Question: Do all authentic 1914-D cents have this die crack, or does it appear only on one die.

Long ago, I got what was claimed to be a 1914-D before certification and the www became popular, when all you could do was rely on the dealer expertise and integrity. It does have the start of the "diagnostic die crack" by Lincoln's coat, out to the rim. It also has the strange slanted L and large B in LIBERTY, as seen in the pic just above, but the mintmark position is higher (more like the pic with the long die crack, above).
