Description

1914-D Cent, Pleasing MS63 Brown
In-Demand Key Date

1914-D 1C MS63 Brown NGC. The pleasing surfaces on this Select Brown key-date 1914-D cent are mostly medium mahogany-brown but show accents of bluish and red in the recesses, along with the usual bold strike. The mintmark is high and rather far left underneath the 9 on this piece, one of several known mintmark positions for the issue. (The mintmarks, like all of this era, were hand-punched into the dies at the Philadelphia Mint before shipping to Denver.)

Population Data (7/14): NGC shows 48 in MS63 Brown with 67 finer.

Heritage Commentary: The key-date 1914-D is, unfortunately, one of the most-counterfeited issues in the series, often by scraping off parts of the first 4 on a 1944-D cent. The obvious telltales for such forgeries are excessive space on either side of the second "1" in the date, and the presence of VDB initials on Lincoln's shoulder (they are absent on genuine 1914-Ds). Lincoln cent aficionados have long recognized that there are also identifiably different mintmark positions on the genuine coins, apparently five according to series pundit Charles Daughtrey. An interesting forum thread on the subject (referring to Heritage archives for the different mintmark positions) can be found at www.LincolnCentResource.net.(Registry values: N1793)
