 Counterfeit. It has a granular surface texture, but overall look convinces me that this is a counterfeit. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. Edited by jacrispies

Doesn't particularly look counterfeit to me, but I don't collect this series. The Lincoln experts will solve this one quickly since there are not that many known mintmark locations. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog

Mintmark does not look the correct size to me. Date looks funny, too.
I can also see funny looking stuff under the shoulder where the designers initials appear to have been incompletely removed.

Yes, we know that counterfeit die. We've seen hundreds of them. We call it the "Close D Fake." Here are the legit mint mark locations: http://goccf.com/t/252833 |

100% Counterfeit.
None of the 1914D mintmarks are that close to the date.

I wasn't able to see a large enough picture of your coin but as I recall, one diagnostic of a genuine one is a die crack from the lower rim to the bust. Don't know if this applies to all known dies however.

Thanks everyone for you help I been so busy so I had no time to dig my 1914d out I figure I get a quick answer. Like I said I didn't care for the coin when I saw it. |

And here's an image from my archives that is the same fake die, I believe.

And to repeat what the other have stated (since I took the time to read and examine all the posts and seen the photos) I looks like a cast coin. The rim has the texture of a cast iron pan - All grainy. |
