BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 02:33 am I don't see a D? I see some arrows pointing at dirt though. The D on genuine pieces is prominent even when well worn. That piece may have had a D attached that fell off leaving an outline that resembles a D. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/21/2013 6:24 pm I think sombody wanted to fool a buyer a long time ago, or they just marked up a Phili coin to mess with collectors - probably in the 1950's when these were still circulating regularly. People do strange things when they are bored. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
