timer Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 07/11/2009 10:48 am I need some expert advise... I just saw this listing on Craigs List for what appears to be a high grade AU/MS 1914 D Lincoln. There were a couple of low quality pictures attached. If I go to look at it, how can I tell if this is a fake or the real thing? Is there something I should be looking for on this date in particular that will tell me for sure if it is authentic? I would attach the pictures but haven't figured out how to do that yet.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/11/2009 1:44 pm An AU/MS 1914D is worth about $1500-2000 and frequently counterfeited. DO NOT purchase a raw coin like that from Joe Schmoe on Craigslist. There are a few diagnostics to look for(no VDB on shoulder, interior of D mint mark almost comes to a point vs a more oval shape from later dates) but unless you are quite skilled and have examined many 1914Ds, it is best to purchase certified.

timer Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 07/11/2009 8:29 pm Thanks for the info and advice...you were right...It did turn out to be a fake... I asked the guy to send me clearer pictures and the spacing between the 9 and the second 1 is significantly greater than the spacing between the first 1 and the 9. Probably an altered 1944 D. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
Brucec Pillar of the Community United States 1026 Posts	Posted 07/12/2009 11:03 am Well I have been saving roll since 2001 have numerous rolls of all the State Quarters 1999 and up all of them P&D rolls. I have 4 or 5 thousand in rolls. I was thinking of cashing these in and buying silver but guess I will keep them for awhile yet anyway. What do you all think cash these in and buy more silver or keep them? Edited by Brucec 07/12/2009 11:07 am Report this Post to the Staff
