This coin speaks for itself.
Big gap in the middle of the date!

This altered '44-D is really nasty. One would think the coin alterer would pick a better '44-D to work on. It's not like they're hard to find and expensive.

Buyers of low grade key date coins like this may have been found to be less knowledgeable about the alteration and are thus the target market.

That's a sad coin indeed

Can't tell for sure, but it looks like the alterationist went the extra step and removed the VDB from Lincolns shoulder.
