    I think you'll have to go with the other diagnostic markers to identify this one. That mintmark isn't very discerning.

    looks like the top of a D to me. Can you post pics of both sides of the coin?

    I see what you think may be the top of the mintmark, but it looks to be at the wrong angle.

    Does the same acid that works on buffalo nickels work on silver?

    Probably a D, but too far gone to ever get in a holder bearing that date.

    I think it's just a hit of some sort. The top part just seems to end, rather than sloping downward.

    I have to vote no 'D', sorry...looks like an 'S' to me

    Im no expert but it looks like a D to me. If I thought that after seeing it in hand and I had purchased it for junk silver price (under 2 bucks?) it would be worth it to me to include it in a submission to our hosts.

    Always looking for tougher PSA 10's of Nolan Arenado, Alex Bregman, Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor, and Mike Trout.
