We saw one of these just a few days ago, the mint mark is in the wrong position for a genuine 14-D. Plus it looks deformed like possibly to alter an "S" mint mark?

Oh yeah, looks like metal was scraped from the surrounding surface to form the D mint mark - pretty tricky!

If the mintmark don't fit, you can't acquit.
Just run.

The mint mark isn't open enough.
