Is this a "D" or "S"

    I agree, that little loop at the top makes it a S. The D is straight across the top.

    I thought so to, but did not hurt to get some other opinions. A near miss!

    Probably an "S".It is worth having it authenticated and graded as a Fair 2. It will be much more market acceptable if in a major brand slab.

    Correction (thanks to MFeld )... not worth slabbing. It would only be worth slabbing if it were the "D", not the "S".

    How much do you think a slabbed example at that grade level would sell for?

    yeS Sir itS an S.

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    Yes. It is a D or S.
