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.

    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!

    OK SHAG, is that my 42-D/Hor D?

    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!

    Oh yes, morganbarber, this would be a big deal if it were "the one"!
