Wow, where to begin?  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

That's an interesting fake. I bid on it for my collection but might get taken down before auction ends or I could get outbid as I am only willing to pay so much for coins I pretty much can never sell down the road. I think the only money losing part of my collection are the counterfeits, and while I enjoy collecting them pretty much consider it a money pit as I doubt I ever find a buyer I trust enough to sell them and can be sure they don't get back out on the market.

So what are the indicators for this being a fake?

@jbdc - look at the spacing of the date. Shaved down from a 1940-D, most likely.

Reminds me of the 1944 wheaties that they modify the first 4 to make
it look like a 1914.

Now I feel proud. That's what I thought as well, a failed to do the right side cleanly! Thank you for sharing those details.

How many other 1910-D LWCs have you seen?

Definitely a modified 1940-D. You can easily see the traces of the 4. A good lesson to always check the date VERY carefully when buying an unslabbed LWC. If the spacing seems off, it's probably been modified. |

The Denver Mint did not produce Lincolns until 1911. I love the statement the seller purports at the bottom of his ebay page......... |

I'm sure he received more than a couple of
""Contact Seller" about this one.
