I'm not sure why the horizontal D would cut through the upright D. It seems most likely that the correct D was punched second. Also, the upright D stands higher above the field, so the shallower first punch should not cut through its top surface.

I think it's probably just a very coincidentally placed ding. But I could certainly be wrong about that.

The curve of the horizontal D does appear to cross the base of the normal D.
I can agree with the sequence of which came first, but if the horizontal D was tilted that could account for the curve of it ending up deeper on the die than the normal D.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
