Any pictures comparing real 14-D with added "D"?

Prethen

I have the PCGS Grading and Counterfeit Detection Guide and noticed they had a couple of Lincoln 14-D pictures but I was hoping to find some better closeups of real vs. fake pictures. The fakes that are from 1944 are pretty obvious but I'd like to see some more added "D" ones.

Is the 31-S ever counterfeited? If so, what are the telltale signs on that counterfeit?

I think some of the real 1914-D Lincolns have a die crack near the rim at about 5'Oclock. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

I've checked out "coppercoins.com" and there seems to be a ton of information on that site but I cannot find any picture comparisons of real vs. fake (or any fake pictures at all).

In the book "Looking Through Lincoln Cents" by coppercoins other wise none as Charles D. Daughtrrey, which I spent the money on at a coin show to buy it, there is very large pictures of the 1914 D. One shows a phoney and one shows the real thing. Also, he covers the way counterfiets are made pretty well. Coppercoins recently stated there is a sequal to that book coming out soon and it may cover things like this in more detail. That guy is really stuck on Lincolns and he's got me watching every one now. If he is smart h won't put everything on his web site or no one will buy the book.

One more thing. You may want to contact coppercoins direct at coppercoins.com. He has a forum where you can ask him about Lincoln cents.

Mine has a small crack at 5 oclock

Great picture, thanks! I wonder how good are the spark-erosion counterfeits of these coins.
