It has “post-mint damage” though between the two 4s . . . . . .
I reported this one as well, still up.

I don't see what you can file a report about. It's a legitimate listing. You can't get a listing pulled because you don't like the price.
As long as the coin is legitimate and listed properly, the seller can ask whatever he wants up
to $2500.00 for a raw coin, it does not mean that he will get his asking price. There are many
such listings like this on eBay. It is up to the buyer to do his homework.
But in this case.... it is listed as a 1914-D cent. and has 28 bids, now up to $458. Even without closeup pictures one can see that it is a razor blade/knife job on a 1944-D cent to make it look like a 1914-D.
Definitely an altered coin. NOT a legit listing. Buyer beware.
Photos suck, but does appear to be a 14D, although the second one does appear to be manipulated from a 4. Here's the best photo I can make of it. Along with an authenticate 1914 D date from CoinFacts.

Picture was so small I did not realize it is an altered 1944 D.
In this case it should be removed. Whoever is bidding on it
must not be too knowledgeable on Wheaties. This is one of
the most altered coins for sale, it is not even a good job.
another pic.

It is an altered 44-D being sold as a genuine 14-D. That seems reportable to me.
Clearly an altered coin. The space between the 9 and the 2nd 1 is too wide and the mint mark is too large to be a genuine '14-D.
And poorly done as well - there is a huge scratch where part of the second "4" was removed.
Poorly done effort at altering the date... Clearly was a 4, changed to 1... Cheers, RickO
The kind of seller who's mom had to close her eyes and think about other babies during breastfeeding.

It sold for $577.89 - somebody is gonna be real disappointed when they get that coin in hand.
"When they can't find anything wrong with you, they create it!"
It appears that the seller went to every effort to post clear, large pics of his raw key date coin. I wouldn't buy no matter the coin, just because the seller is a bona fide dipsheet.
Maybe not, the pictures are clear enough. The disappointment will come when the "lucky" buyer goes to a coin show sell his treasure to the highest bidder and make a sweet profit - and then finds out it is a bad fake.
I will let this sweet one go for $100 postpaid
Unfortunately, this is true.

It’s not a legitimate listing. The coin was listed as a 1914-D, when it’s actually an altered 1944-D. So it was reportable.
