TippyCanoe Pillar of the Community United States 607 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 6:58 pm Hi All, I purchased a collection and this coin was in the 1914 D spot. I feel like this is counterfeit as the mintmark doesn't look right, there are scratches around it, and positioning is off. Can you help confirm my suspicions. Thank you!

Dearborn Moderator United States 96735 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 9:57 pm sure looks off to me too. That D looks like it was added later on. It is also not in the correct location, it should be a bit further East under the gap between the 9 and the 1. ref PCGS: https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...d-1c-bn/2471 Collecting since 1972.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25370 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 10:02 pm An acetone bath would reveal the truth. But those scratches, coupled with the off placement of the "D", are quite indicative of an adulterated coin.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 12/07/2022 10:50 pm If the mm were glued on then acetone would likely drop it off by melting the glue. But it's a nifty counterfeit so why risk ruining it. Quite unusual and not the same as most of the fakes we see for this date. Report this Post to the Staff

The way I see it is all members should have at least one contest or giveaway to "give" back to the members for all the help we "give" them...just sayin' John1 Report this Post to the Staff
