I was just curious on your thoughts as to whether this is legitimate or not. *These are sellers pictures, not mine   Thank you for reading! |

I'd say genuine. Two of the Denver MMs for this year have that pronounced left tilt, and I believe this is one of them.

Looks real to me, but I wouldn't want it even if it was!

It looks real, however, would you really want one in this grade? Save a little more money and buy a problem free coin. Just my advice.

Looks like a genuine 1914D that was buried in the sand for an extended period. I agree with the advice to buy a problem free coin though. This is a place holder only.

The idea was to pick it up as a placeholder if it went cheap. Thank you for your thoughts.

Politely suggest you consider your collecting objectives .... That 1914-D LWC genuine or not is horribly corroded ... Whatever it cost you today as a hole filler will perhaps be a bummer long term as you either acquire assets to upgrade or try to sell it. This is a damaged coin ... and will always be damaged. Collect what you wish ... you asked so I reply with honest thoughts. |

Junk will always be junk, even for scarce semi-keys or keys.
As suggested by many, save for a nice one.

Legit, but a hard pass for me.

It may be just conversation now, as OP's second post seems to intimate that he passed, but I'm going to offer a very mild and tentative dissent on the "don't buy it, it's junk" suggestions here. I think for many people, some of the key dates have a certain magic that may be diminished but is not eliminated by diminished condition. This particular coin for me gives a pretty good dose of that narrative quality of "Where has this thing been, and how did it finally come to numismatic attention?" The missing piece here is that we don't know the price. Is it $20? Then why not? Otherwise, you can get a fairly clean and attractive, even certified, 1914-D for not much more than $150 (with some hunting), and if that is within the collector's budget, then I'm back to agreeing with those who say don't buy this coin.

What amazes me is the distinct date and mint mark on this cull Lincoln . If cheap enough will make a good conversation piece .  |

Hard to tell without pictures of the MM. That's probably the WORST 1914D I've ever seen!

Genuine, but a cull. The definition of place holder or filler.

It is not even that for me since I do not like to do upgrades.
