I found this CRH. I was wondering what your thoughts were on it. Is it real and damaged, or is it damaged to make it look real? I only see scratches on the right side of the "1" and I can't see any kind of "shadow" that would indicate it was a '44 that they turned into a '14. If this is real, this is probably the best coin I've found so far!!  |

Definitely altered... They very obviously mutilated a 24 into a 14.

Not illigal unless you sell it as a 1914 D. Altered date.

Easy way to check: is there a VDB in Lincoln's shoulder?
Anyway, this is an altered coin.

Altered, cut it in half and throw it away.

Thanks everyone, the lesson for the day, if it's too good to be true, it probably isn't true!!

Not always, that's just the sport.

The mint mark position matches up with a 1944-D cent. Now you know, it is an altered 1944-D Lincoln Cent. |

If you were a coin date alterer and botched altering a date into a 1914D, what would you do with the botched attempt (besides put it on ebay)? |

Worthless honestly, even you'll get crap for spending it.
I'd just take a sander and sand it down.
Or throw it into a lake.
That's what I'm doing with my 1944 S altered to a 1914 S.
