Well, that's a genuine 1944-D Lincoln altered to look like a 1914-D. One can even see the VDB on the shoulder, and the mm is not the right shape or position...

Would be supremely ironic if this 44-D is a D/S over-mintmark...

@mrwhatisit - you can always take the initiative yourself by scrolling down the right margin to "Report this item" and following the prompts.

That was one roughed-up alteration attempt.

Good work Bobby! I looked at some of his other offerings and there were several other coins that just didn't look right either. This beat up "44d was so obvious though.
