There are many counterfeit 1914-D cents. The most common fakes are made by scraping away part of the first '4' on a 1944-D coin. These are relatively easy to identify because the spacing of the 9 and faked '1' will be too wide; also a genuine 1914-D cent does not have the designer's initials VDB below the fold in Lincoln's coat. When in doubt, check with a certified appraiser or dealer.
