Easier to see if pic is rotated 90.

I agree the spacing between the 9 and the "1" looks wrong (i.e. there's room for a 4).

Yep, looks like another alteration.

These are very common. I've seen many on eBay.

Obvious POS seller. Coin pictured may not be the one you receive? Raw may not be returned? This guy is dangerous. Some uneducated
cheapskate will wish he had bought from a local dealer.

Hi I rotated the coins and brightened them up for better viewing.

JeffinMich · March 10, 2003 4:05AM

Can someone post the link to a real one for comparison?

I wish people would stop doing this.

Here's another. You can see some nice pics of some very nice certified 1914-D LC's on ebay. There's quite a difference.

leothelyon - You can actually see the VDB on that one.

anoldgoat · March 10, 2003 5:58AM

This looks real

Seller ended the auction...

I've bought coins from this dealer and have never had any problems. I sent them an email;

Yes you are correct. The item was listed in error. We do apologize for
this. As a result the auction has been ended.

Hi
This 1914-D may be a fake. The 9 and 1 are too far apart.
I've bought coins from you before and thought I'd let you
know.
Thanks, Leon Stroup

Jeff:

goat's link is to a genuine 1914D cent. The other links are all altered 1944D's. Another possible diagnostic to an altered 1944D, in addition to the spacing problem, is that the second so called numeral one (created from the first numeral four) is much longer than on a genuine 1914D. In other words, both ones on a genuine 1914D cent are the same length. An eagle eyed counterfeiter could shorten the second one to match the first so that's not always reliable, but the altered ones I've seen haven't had the foresight to do that.

richbeat · March 10, 2003 6:04PM

I just realized that goat posted two links. His second link ("try this one more time") is the genuine one.
