The upper serif of the D is normally quite close to the bottom closest leaf. But it all depends on how the inside of the D looks, because the same mintmark was used for all, just 4 different placements. As long as the D looks like this one pictured, you should be golden.

Looks great! The important thing is the triangle inside of the D. Great find!
No speeding tickets, but I would suggest some lottery tickets with that luck!

Wow... no lottery? I'd take Bobal up on his offer... The Powerball is normally pretty high. Every once in a while it gets us Ohioians to make the drive to pick up a few.

Would it be good form to go back to the shop and kick back a couple bucks for something like this? I don't know if there is a right or wrong answer to this, just curious what people would do in that situation.
I'm not saying I would split the profits (if I sold it) but maybe go back with a few bucks since you haggled the price down.
Would this be good form?
