The shine mark looks to be part of the copper composition of the planchet. Color of the whole coin looks a bit off though. I'd pass. Buying these key dates unslabbed is risky. Probably a reason this one is not in a slab.

It's not a bad EF coin but, whether it is worth $800 is another question.

Cleand, over priced coin. Just be glad that there isn't a VDB on the shoulder. I, personaly, would by a cleaned EF 1914 D from my dealer at $300

No question as to authenticity because of the die crack from Lincoln's lapel to the rim but value? Too much.

I see a lot of coins for this seller come across in my search and many / most of them look like suspect, problem raw coins priced as if they were problem free. As others have said, you could get a nice, certified VF or even XF for less. For this kind of money and for a coin faked as much as this one, I would either go certified or buy from a trusted source where you can see it in hand first.

The coin looks genuine to me, but I agree with the others that it is over priced.

Overpriced, for sure, but the obverse streak leaves me cold in any event. Pass!

I wouldn't touch that coin raw, especially since there are a few "altered" floating around with mint mark or date alterations. Especially not when you can get the same coin in TPG plastic for less money. I always ask myself: why would such a nice, rare coin not be slabbed? Usually = a details coin to me. Also, LOL at the price. High XF money for a VF details coin.
