While searching 1914 D Lincoln Cent Diagnostics, ran across this on PCGS CoinFacts. Interesting.

As I said, while on CoinFacts for another Poster 1914 D Question, I ran across this Lincoln Cent (Wheat Reverse), 1914-D 1C, RB, PCGS MS66RB and upon enlarging using their tool I noticed this anomaly, which is far too small to be an actual D mintmark or letter of any kind.Perhaps Pareidolia :

Obvious pareidolia - Mintmark punches were small enough let alone somebody creating a super tiny one and just randomly punching dies when nobody was around. BUT the cent in picture does have PIDT (Progressive Indirect Die Transfer) on the reverse indicating a very worn die.

obviously it is lapel lint and the artist just got carried away.
