And if the link fails, do a search at Heritage archives with, 1942-D 5C D Over Horizontal D MS64 PCGS ,lot 386.
The coin actually upgraded from MS64 to MS65 5FS?

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
<< <i>And now for a little more history. These were the photos taken minutes after removing the d/d from a 2x2. I had cherrypicked the coin at the Georgia State show in Dalton, GA. Shag >>
And the Dalton show is also going on this weekend. What else are you going to snag there Shag? What an incredible cherrypick! Knowing you cherry picked this from a 2X2 would it be reasonable to believe there are several yet undiscovered ones left?
I feel sure this is the same coin as your picture even though it has toned up quite a bit since then. The hit to the top left off the C on the reverse was the best match I could find, but since it was your coin I know you would recognize it anywhere.
Here is reverse. Again copied from DLRC site where the aution is current.
That about sums it up
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

Since you had the coin, does it appear that it may have been doctored up? From Heritages photos, the two charcoal pics, the coin looks it has been played with twice.

JMHO to be taken w/a grain of salt.
This is it. I'm done. That is how much.

quickwing, I figured when I found it that it was a once in a lifetime event. Couldn't attend the Dalton show this weekend due to family events. You can still cherrypick rare stuff
out there! Two years ago at the FUN show, I found what is the only 1911-d/d FS-503 Lincoln that has been graded by PCGS. It's the thrill of the hunt. Shag
Hoard the keys.
I will say that Shag had the big snag on this one! Man, this is the dream 2x2 cherry in the Jefferson series. I was able to see the coin a couple time as it made it's way through a couple dealers and auctions. You know why it's still in an NGC holder!
I love Jeffersons, and one of these days I'll own an MS example of the 1942-D / Hor D!
Now, find me one of these! 1963 TDR FS-37.3
My 1949-D/S 2x2 Cherry from a prior post made MS66
