That is a legit 1918-D Wheat Penny with circulation wear, it's not the 1914-D Key Date. But it's a extremely nice find for a teens wheat penny with a mintmark.

No, it is simply wear from circulation.

Only one coin per topic, you must start a new one. Also I recommend buying a 2023 Red Book price guide so you can learn the various values of coins.

??? I see a very worn and harshly cleaned 1918-D wheat cent, it is so common and in such condition so I would value it at $0.02. The red book is a price guide on U.S. coins and can give you a general idea of the value. the redbook grades for the wheat cents starts at Good 4, and goes up to mint state grades.
U.S. cent lover!
