1914-D Key Date Wheat Penny

The 1914-D wheat penny is a key date coin, meaning it is a scarce, highly sought after, valuable coin that any collector of wheat pennies would love to have as an addition to their collection.

There were 1,193,000 1914-D wheat cents minted. The low mintage and low survival rate of this coin make it a rare find.

Because of its scarcity and value, the 1914-D penny is often faked, so be careful.

One way to fake a 1914-D is by altering the date of a 1944-D. If you remove part of the first "4", you can make it look like a "1". Here are a few ways you can tell if your 1914-D is really a 1944-D.

If your 1914-D wheat penny has a "V.D.B." on Abraham Lincoln's shouler, then you have a 1944-D. The original 1914-D does not have these initials, as they were not added back to the coin until 1918.

The "4" on a 1944-D penny is short and fat, while the "4" on an authentic 1914-D penny will be tall and lean.

There also appears to be large gap between the "9" and the first "4" on a fake 1914-D. This is because part of the "4" was removed, leaving an unnatural looking space between them.

If you think you have a 1914-D key date wheat penny, take it to an expert to be examined and certified as authentic.
