  At least he noted the 'rev scratch' on the holder. Funny- it must've scratched that D right off!

  Not something I would bid on but I think the D is probably there.
  Note that the E in "ONE" is also missing.
  The scratch is below where the D should be.
  I don't think this guy would trash his reputation over this.
  
  Edit to add:
  What we don't know is if the seller could spot an added D
  but he takes Paypal and has a return policy.
  Didn't look to see just what that policy is.

  There is not now, nor has there ever been a shortage of "bidiots" on ebay.

  The only "D" on that reverse is in the word "DIME".
  
  I don't know what this guy is doing passing this off as a rarity. Did you read all of the questions? Maybe its a hijacked account. Or maybe the guy doesn't care about feedback anymore.

  A closer look at the reverse.

  I can't imagine that being a legitimate auction. Looks like a "mint mark free" coin to me. His recent sales, other than one coin have been $1-$3 cards. I get the feeling someone is going to be firing off some emails in hopes of a refund after receiving this one. I bet it tops $750 from someone hoping for a killer deal.

  Witty sig line currently under construction. Thank you for your patience.

  Ahh, now I see the D. It's to the right of the fasces in front of the word ime.

  I wonder why we can't see the E in "ONE" either?
  It's a poor image to use to say anything.

  It keeps reminding me of Voyager I photos of some Jovian moon. Is that "scratch" a trench or a mountain range?
  
  I wish that serious sellers would abandon the scanner as any standard for numismatic imaging.

  ended up at over $1,100. I should send the winner a message and ask them where the D is.

  What I don't understand is why anyone would list what would be expected to be a very high dollar auction and show pictures that look like that. I will on rare occasions list things for sale (I mostly buy) and I always do my best to put a quality picture and most of the stuff I sell is low dollar.
  
  Never in a million years would I bid on that out of focus coin even if I thought there might be a "D" there simply because who knows what problems it has.
