Opinions and thoughts on this 1914D

JRocco

Take a look at the area on the rim at 5 o'clock just under the jacket and let me know if this looks like a stray D to you.
If anyone has a 14D to compare this to, do you have a similar mark on your coin? I can't imagine very many dies were used to make these 14D's so this should not be a rarity even if it were a wild 14 D and D RPM, or is it just a die gouge that looks an awful lot like an extra D.
Your thoughts.

die crack, not a dropped MM

Die crack. According to PCGS's The Official Guide to Coin Grading and Counterfeit Detection, it's an attribute of a genuine 14-D.

This is used on some as a diagnostic. Unlike the 09-S, SVDB there are many obverse and reverse dies. It really does take an expert to know this date like a book, beyond me and my patience to study and catolog.

Die crack, yes - but it does look eerily like a D, as you mention.

I grade that a 10 or a 12.

i'm far from an expert but if i had to lay down some money on the coin in question i'd say Pass.
