found it between the coins in that group that a friend of mine got for face value. It's not the best looking cent but it's a 1914 d

Hmmmmm....

Might it be a 1944D that was filed and then acid dipped to hide the evidence? Spacing looks off to me.

That is an altered cent...the gap between the 9 and 1 is much too wide.

Shaved "4" to make it look like a "1". There are many of these out in coinland.

I agree that this might be a altered date, 1944 D.

I have one of these somewhere.

I know not what the OP wants to hear.

Taking it to a good coin shop or coin show, where you can
get a "in hand" opinion is a good option.

It does not look like a 1914-D to me; I see a 1944-D that's altered. You have the coin in-hand and should know for sure.

That's too bad, I would have been really excited to find a gem like that for fave value!! I would have been bragging and telling every coin guy I know about it... All three of them!!

Suspicious that the one figure in the date which must be unambiguous has something wrong with it.

Absolutely altered no way is your piece a 1914 D. It isn't even a decent alteration.
