The D barely has any seriffs and that die chip is diagnostic as the counterfeiters reuse dies for other dates and mintmarks. Helps keep costs down.

Reported. In the future, try to be a little vague about the die chip in here. The Chinese counterfeiters DO read this forum. We don't want to teach them what they're doing wrong.  |

Stockmaniac2005 also has a 1909-s cent for sale from the same Chinese factory as this 1914-d in case you want a matched set....

I think the seller was fooled. I sent him a note.

Well we had a member join from Flushing NY and post a Chinese counterfeit for grading and claim to buy it at a flea market in NY.
Except the IP traced to the exact town in China of a previously published article with pictures of a press room for manufacturing counterfeits.
They posted their own counterfeit so we could tell them what the flaws were.
This is just one of dozens of instances over the years that I won't elaborate further on.

They're lowlifes, but FAR from stoopid.

Well, considering China has such a large population, a lot of people have no choice to do jobs like so.
I mean, either make counterfeits & profit, or just go straight to living on the streets.
...not to mention how overcrowded the streets are regardless...

from update by stockmaniac2005
I have never knowingly offered a counterfeit coin for sale, which hopefully my feedback can attest to. I purchased both of the wheat cents from alisonscoins on here last year and thought they looked and felt authentic....Thank you for the information, both listings have been removed..
