1914-D Cent -- Funny Looking "D"

Connecticoin

The "D" appears mis-shapen compared to a genuine 14-D. Added mintmark? At least it is not an altered 1944-D

Both added mintmarks? I say yes (they don’t look like any genuine ones in Coinfacts), but would like your thoughts . . .

I'm wondering about an added mint mark also.

OP's eBay link is now gone. The second 14-D, part of set, appears to be definitely a fake D. The D is way too slanted. I'd also wager the 22 no D in that set is a weak reverse too, if it's not counterfeit. I'd walk away from that set and seller.

The "D" appears too large for 1914, but is the right size for 1944.
If it is an altered from 1944-D, it would have a VDB on the shoulder truncation (genuine 1914-D cents do not have the VDB).

I think the slanted D matches the lower left die.

Coins I would not buy raw.

I consider that one so I attempted to do the alignment (crude yes) and it still seemed too tilted. It's close but when zoomed in the sereifs on the D look too pronounced & elongated.

The “tails” on the slanted D subject coin appear too long compared with the genuine slanted D. The position appears close, but the tilt looks too much per the post above.

I like the fingerprint covering the entire obverse… I have to agree with Smudge.
