I bought this from an estate in a blue folder with others. Is it genuine? What is your opinion on the grade?

It looks real. The grade is Good. There is no Good-5, so I guess it’s Good-6.
Level 'D' high. Appears to be authentic. Good condition.
This is a $100 coin. Red Book 12th Edition lists 1914-D Lincoln in Good at $17.50. Time to get busy hunting through ebay wheat rolls.
I purchased the folder for $10 which also included an 09VDB, 23S, 31D and 60+ others 1909-40.
Where are the estate auctions you go to? I want to go.
It was not an auction. I was asked to make offers and purchased many other coins there as well.
For $10 you did ok.

Looks good and you got a rip. Perfect hole filler for a coin album.

Looks authentic and that was a great buy..... Cheers, RickO
That's a nice coin! Even in the grade it is in it's real decent. Good, clean and honest wear make it attractive in its' own right.

I usually think of a no problem, semi key date coin in Good to be better than a hole filler. To me a hole filler is a damaged problem coin.
I never found the niche, but I knew a dealer who bought coins in no problem Good who had other dealers who would purchase all such coins he could find.
By a "hole filler" I meant a coin used to fill one of the last remaining holes in a coin album but I can
see your point.

@MarkKelley let’s see the rest of the haul.

I'd say no more than G04 but a nice 14-D nevertheless!

Great purchase and a great price.

Nice find! I'd buy it.

So how long do you think that piece circulated before being plucked out of the wild? 30 years? 40 years? 50 years? Curious what you guys think.
That '14-D probably circulated for 50 years before being plucked by a person searching a roll. It was possible to make good circulation finds in the '60's.I found a '14-S in a roll from the bank but never did find '14-D.
More likely it was in a coin collection several decades before someone inherited it or stole it and then put it in circulation.
