Fishy-looking 14-D wheatie

Is it just me, or does that mm look fishy? It looks like the wrong type. Either way, someone got ripped off. If real, it should have sold for hundreds more than it did. If someone posts feedback and says it graded at PCGS I think I'll shoot myself, but I'm pretty sure it's altered.

1914 D LINCOLN WHEAT CENT! RARE KEYDATE!

D is too big and in the wrong place.

Definitely a bogus mintmark.

Added mintmark definitely.

I think it should look more like this:

That is probably why it is a private auction with the buyer's ID obscured.

Once again, as a life member of the ANA, it makes me proud to see an ANA member offer an auction such as this.

I like how these people never include their membership number.

100% fake. Does it make any sense to report a listing once the auction is over?

Here's a real one from my collection:

Yes, that one is all wrong. Bogus.

If I was the buyer I would definitely appreciate the info!!! I'm nowhere near qualified to tell which is real/fake so I woudn't feel right about passing the info based on hearsay. For that reason, I would buy a coin of this value only if slabbed. Maybe the seller doesn't know either??

The seller doesn't know??? And he is an ANA member??? Doesn't say much about one's knowledge and member afiliation.
