  Haven't seen this before, but I wasn't looking either. I have a couple of '42Ds that I'll check.

  When in doubt, don't.

  Likely worth some commentary here on the forum.... Cheers, RickO

  Thanks, guys. The interesting thing is that these were in a NYC Transit Authority coin bag, along with 460 war nickels and about 45 Buffs. My uncle worked for them and was a subway booth person in the 1960s. He knew his coins, such as it was at the time, and set aside scarce coins for a couple of dealers who would visit him after rush hour and buy them. He replaced their value with some of the proceeds. He left a large accumulation of silver halves, quarters, dimes and war nickels. All types and dates. My brother wound up selling them while I was out of state, allegedly to pay his tuition. I could have killed him.

  Just checked both of mine... D positioned normally.

  When in doubt, don't.

  Clearly looks like something is under that D, like an old punch.

  Armen and Bolivar, aren't yours the D over horizontal D? I don't remember seeing the D/horiz. D tilted like that. It looks like mine except with an underlying
  horizontal D. Interesting.

  Have you considered the "D" is right and the Monticello building is tilted?

  The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

  It is the d/horizontal d variety. This PCGS MS64 example brought over 8k at auction back in 07.

  Put a drop of acetone right on the 'D' and see if it falls off....I'm serious!

  Tahoe & Bolivar: I'm hesitant to label it as the D over D variety. Maybe I'll put it on eBay with the large pic and a "you decide" what it is. Don't want to mislead anyone.
  
  WoodenJeff: I'm out of acetone in my meth lab so I can't do that. Seriously, I don't have any but may try to buy some.
  
  If anyone's interested in it, I'll send it to you for examination and make an offer.
