Thank you in advance
I couldn't tell you so I'm just tagging myself and waiting on responses.
However, I will guess its a fake as the 1 looks doctored.
Right when I saw it I was going to say I see a 44 but not a 14.
Hoard the keys.
Looks genuine. FN15

I think it is real, just a little trash or damage taking away from the second "1's" credibility. I agree with the F15.

A little hard to tell from the photos and the dark color of the coin.
My dumb guess would be a 1914 with an added mint mark.
The mint mark seems a little further to the right than it should be and also appears to tilt left.
There are several mint mark positions but if you line them up with the back of the 9 you can see the differences.
The genuine ones seem to be fairly straight or tilt to the right.
nah. it's not a altered 44
Maybe this will help.

here it is cropped
Can you provide some photos with better/more light and close up of the date? I cannot see if the diagnostic die crack is present or not, or if that is just a die chip next to the 1.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
I don't like the lighting angle of the image and the darkness of the coin itself to get a good read on it.

If you tilt the picture level then the D looks straight however I’m kind of dizzy today I think I caught the Omicron.
Thanks @MsMorrisine for some reason I was not able to save the file.
The mint mark doesn't seem quite as tilted.
Looks like it may be a match for this one you would need to compare in hand.
It looks like it's genuine to me. F to VF.
Pat, not meant as a criticism, but as a Coin Dealer of 20+ years, how is it that you don't know this already?? put another way, we should be asking YOU to authenticate this, not the other way around.
No die crack
That is the first thing I look for!
a die crack is a later die state
I was concerned with the spacing between the 9 and the second 1
Keets I am not perfect and a second opinion makes me feel better so I don’t sell ????? Coins
Alway better to be safe than sorry!
@Coinscratch I tilted my head but it still looked off.
Take care of yourself, that's not the type of big O you want to have.
Send it to our hosts for a second opinion. It will be much easier to sell that way.

Looks OK and probably in the VF-XF range but how can we grade it if you only show us the obverse?
Please post a photo of the reverse, too.
The reverse is in the first post
click on the image button just below the photo image.
Just my 2c. but I don't like the shape of the MM or it's internal opening.
I looks altered to me, but the photo is too dark to be sure.
Photo very dark.
Looks OK to me, F12.

The photo was playing games with my eyes at first but it seems to line up pretty good.
The second 1 in the date looks like it’s been cut down. It looks shorter than the first 1. Sure would like to see a better photo of the date. I could be seeing artifacts.

Heck of a place for a die chip... at least it looks like a die chip to me in those dark pictures. Cheers, RickO
Based on the current photos posted by the OP, genuine. I think it has enough detail to make VF20.
In my opinion:
I say altered.
Lincoln's shoulder looks buffed to me.

Kennedys are my quest...
I agree. Inside of MM has the angular look. One of the sharper strikes, too. Most are fuzzy/softly struck.
Noticeable but very minimal wear. I like it as AU-50.

I want to thank everyone for their post !
