    That's about as obvious as one can get... I still see remnants of the 4 that was turned into a 1...

    Sent note to seller. Since he provided such good photo, he may not realize the counterfeit.

    If a bid occurs before the seller contacts me I will contact ebay.

    Yeah, that's a pretty bad alteration.

    It looks like he took that 14-D out of the auction description............

    Please note that the seller is honorable. He replied to my earlier message and said he had revised the listing, removing the altered date 1944-D. I thanked him and told him I’d let the forum know. Edited to add: after seeing the above message, I’ll tell him the photo is still showing.

    He sent me the same message, so I agree, he is honorable. I figured he might be when he gave such large photos of the coin. Most sellers that know the coin is ingenuine, do not provide such quality photos that allow discovery.
