1914 D LINCOLN CENT 1909 VDB AND MORE KEY LOT 76 COINS
The spacing between the numerals and the size/position of the mintmark just doesn't look right to me, but it's really hard to tell since the coin is so beat-up as it is. I don't see a "VDB" on Lincoln's shoulder, however judging by those heavy scratches in that particular area, I suspect it could have been crudely ground off.

The second "1" is too far to the right.

And the 'black goo' (seller's words) on the coin is just too convenient of a cover-up for a poor alteration.
Run, don't walk, away!
........the mint mark doesn't look angular. me thinks counterfeit.

Theres your answer. Altered date. Numerals spaced wrong, MM in wrong position.
<< <i>Are you thinking altered from an 1814-D?? >>
No, 1944D, smartass.
<< <i>FAKE, look , the vdb was tooled as well. >>
Yep, looks like a big scrape along the rim where it was tooled.
