Can you tell from picture if this coin looks real? Best guess on worth?
Hi Lori --
DO NOT CLEAN YOUR COIN. CLEANING RUINS VALUE.
Yes, it certainly looks real to me.
Here's one that sold around $200 on eBay. Yours is probably worth about that, maybe a bit more.
Thanks, Paul. Does it look like that coin was cleaned? I was curious because I didn't clean it but suspect this other one below was cleaned. Do you agree? That's quite a difference of color on the same coin. Thanks, Lori
Lori -- The tell-tale sign of a cleaned copper coin is a bright orange color, like the spot on the back of your 1912D. Your 14D may have been cleaned years ago, but time has rendered much more natural looking. Natural is good.
