Yeah that's what I'm wondering.

Dead-on, as I said to open this discussion.

I still don't see any evidence of an alteration from a '44D.

Altering a 4 and then moving the stub 1 over to the left without a trace?

Wha?

We might as well get some education out of this thread.

The ebay pics are horrible, of course, trying to hide the deception...but I took the ebay coin (left) and put it next to a PCGS XF40 at the same resolution. I'll point some things out:

Altered-44d...

- Color - Not sure how describe it other than a hue to the brown. 1940's coins have a certain color and look that likely corresponds to alloy variations - decades apart from 1914.
- Spacing between the 1 & 4. HUGE gap on the fake.
- Rim, the fake is a slight MAD, too thin in spots. 1914D rims are usually nice and thick.
- MM - Way too high, a position I'm sure one could match-up with a 44D without looking too hard.

Brilliant, and I am certainly wrong, just not exactly sure how!

BadThad - not to mention the relief. It's much higher.

After reading page one I was going to ask if anyone got the photo(s).

Here on page two I see BadThad came though with a bonus. Very helpful.

The mint mark is to close to the date. It is not in one of the genuine 1914-D Lincoln Cent positions
