Just put a bid in for this on eBay and before I fully pay I just wanted some help from the experts regarding if this looks like a genuine 1914 dime.

Looks real to me, but harshly cleaned.

Thank you! Would have bought it.
GSC is infamous for their creative photography. Most around here avoid them like the plague.
Smitten with DBLCs.
Yes indeed.
Yes I’m not very good with the whole eBay buying, so much you can’t see with the pictures.
genuine and cleaned to h@ll and back
Yep... I will add my vote for super cleaned.... Walk on by.... Cheers, RickO
You are being very kind calling it harshly cleaned!!
Looks like it's been cleaned with baking soda paste.

I’ve seen people that would benefit from that concoction on their teeth!
Genuine and Juuuust a little polished up, probably with the old Arm & Hammer.
A company I worked for many years ago made the stuff for Church and Dwight.
The dime in question was once handled by this dealer.

Ah yes, in the 'good days I knew a few dealers who bought that stuff by the bucket.

With all due respect you should not be in the habit of bidding on coins you are not sure you will pay for. As eBay rules state, "your bid is a contract". Ask questions first, bid later.
A string of unpaid auctions will get a bidder banned from eBay.
Your instincts were correct that there might be issues of some kind with this coin, so that is a good thing.
Possibly an old whiz job.
Perfect picture!

That Brighto stuff was medicine. The Stooges rubbed it on a car and it took the paint off.
