Your Opinion Please, Fake Coin?
FIRST this guy tried to sell a bogus 1893-S Morgan dollar on eBay that
he claimed to have gotten "in a lot of silver coins at a swap meet" that turned out to be a phony with EXACTLY the same diagnostics as an AG 1898-S Morgan dollar that he'd purchased on eBay 3 weeks before. If you like, email me for absolute proof of this claim. He closed the auction after several complaints, and then eBay wiped it out due to "REPORTS" from concerned people. THEN he listed a 1922 "No D" Lincoln cent that with a very poor picture that is really impossible to analyze. AND NOW, he has listed this 1914-D Lincoln cent that is, to me, very suspect. I have put the pictures alongside of those of real, certified, 14-D cents, and the "D" just doesn't look in the proper location to me. However, I am not a Lincoln cent collector, and do not know if there are various varieties of this coin that may be from different obverse dies, or not. I'd sure be interested in hearing from some of the knowledgable people on this site as to their opinions on this coin. Thanks, El Vigilante http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8322997728 |

The link provided is to an 1873-CC trade dollar. It looks very much like the
73-77 CC copies I have. As I am not a member of ePay I cannot search closed auctions and cannot comment on the 1914-D. "El Vigilante" wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks, El Vigilante http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=8322997728 I see no listing for a 1914D either current or completed. Are you sure it was not already pulled or did you mix it up with the trade dollar. Davic |

Doesn't look good to me. Interesting how the left and right sides are weaker
than the middle. My first thought was acid. "El Vigilante" wrote in message ups.com... Sorry, linked to wrong auction. Her's the on I was talking about, also, he's now listed another 22 "no D", same coin or produced from same mold. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=8324296 608 |

However, I am not a Lincoln cent collector, and do not know if there are various varieties of this coin that may be from different obverse dies, or not. I can tell you for certain that the 1909S VDB run spanned several dies, with different mint mark locations. So, at least for that issue, you need to know all of the dies to know if a mint mark is in the wrong place. I'd *guess* that the same situation applies to the 1914D - but I don't know that for a fact. Jeff |
