Hi All, Let me know what you think of this 1914-D. F grading perhaps? Thanks   |

It's not genuine. Looks like an altered date.

Grandpa had quite the collection, great coins I've seen so far.
I think this squeaks into VF20, possibly 25

The gap between the 9 and the 1 in the date looks suspiciously large, and the mintmark looks too big (like you would see on a 1944-D cent). Also check to see if there is a VDB on Lincoln's shoulder, if so, then this is a genuine 1944-D cent, altered date  |

Good eye Zurie - MM looks like it might be 44 (plus height/spread)

Wow...thanks. Didn't even cross my (novice) mind that this might be altered.
@mrwhatisit - no VDB on Lincoln's shoulder.
Thanks all

altered coin. here are the MM positions to compare. it doesn't match any. the closest match is obv die# where the left side of the MM matches up with the right side of the 9 however its too high and too close to the 9  Edited by panzaldi

Yes, appears to be an altered example.

44 is a perfect overlay  |

Thanks everyone. This is great. I will put in the "too good to be true" pile.
Much appreciated.

I agree. Since you posted on the grading forum, I'll say Fine.
Errers and Varietys.

I found a 1914-D (1944-D) while digging through a bag of pennies. The person defacing mine did not do as good a job as the one you have.  |

A genuine 1914-D won't have the designer's initial on the shoulder, like your coin does.  Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

Maybe I'm going blind but I can't see any initials in that picture.
Nice work CCF GF!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
