Jefferson guys, How big a deal would this be?

I bought THIS COIN on Ebay because it seemed like a good deal. It arrived today and the first thing I noticed is that the mintmark looked doubled. A quick search showed that there is such a thing as a 1946-D/D and one, MS66 FS sold on Heritage for over 4 grand. If it does turn out to be a D/D, is it really that valuable? Sorry, I don't do pictures and if I did, I doubt I could give a good picture of a mintmark. Thanks.
I collect circulated U.S. silver

    Best thing to do since you dont do pics send it in and try to get it attributed.

    Anytime you can get a coin for the price of the plastic, it can't be a bad thing.

    The D/D being referred to for $4K would be a D over inverted D... my bet would be you might be seeing one of the other four versions of the D/D which are the minor versions and are not designated by PCGS.

    To verify, send it to the CONECA gods.

    Hope this helps!

  • Where is the secondary MM in relation to the primary MM on your coin?

    This site has RPM-005 pictured but none of the others. This is not the CP variety.

    This pic is actually a 42-D/over horizontal D. The rare 46 d/ inverted D is very similar. You should have part of the D protruding from the left of the primary D. This is the one that would bring you the big bucks. Shag

    Thanks for the replies. I am sure it is the minor variety.

    He got a good deal, considering that would turn off a few bidders in my opinion!

    morganbarber,

    A good place to look at a picture of the expensive variety is in the Registry Sets. Go to the Jefferson Full Step Complete Variety Sets 1938 - Present, and look at the Corso Set. You'll see a great coin!

    Nice purchase, no matter what it is!
  • BigDowgieBigDowgie Posts: 1,780 ✭✭✭✭
    OK SHAG, is that my 42-D/Hor D?
  • BigDowgieBigDowgie Posts: 1,780 ✭✭✭✭
    I just checked the Corso Set, he has a picture of the Mint Mark, but not the coin. You could check out that awesome 46-D/D in the F.I.B. Collections!
  • BigDowgieBigDowgie Posts: 1,780 ✭✭✭✭
    Oh yes, morganbarber, this would be a big deal if it were "the one"!

    I have both the 1942-D over Horizontal D and the 1946-D over Inverted D. Here are the photos.
