The D is very evident on the over mint marked examples.

There is no D evident beneath the S on your example.

There are two D's one north, another south and I see it clearly. I understand it's not listed, I've seen RPM's weaker strikes and recognized 1985 d's for example, but this one I can clearly see, I don't get it.

The "D" is just a scratch on the coin. Not a RPM or overmintmark.

If you find a neat coin, or even a new over mint mark or overdate you will see us raising the roof to congratulate you on your discovery.

If we don't agree with your supposition it doesn't mean we want to be evil. It just means we can't see anything of value. If we are all of the same opinion either the photos aren't showing us what you want us to see, or it isn't there.

I think it's called Pareidolia. It's where your mind puts visual cues together and makes you see stuff that isn't there or that you want to see.

In order for it to be a RPM or OMM (Over-Mint-Mar) they would have to raised on the coin. Not incuse on the coin. Mint mark varieties are punched into the die. So if they are incuse looking like something, they are not a mint mark variety.

They need to rise from the surface of the coin, because the mint marks are punched into the die (incuse) raised on a coin. So if it isn't raised or level with the surface, then your brain is playing tricks on you.
