JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21646 Posts	Posted 11/30/2019 3:09 pm It's impossible to have an inverted D unless it was on the die in which case all coins struck from that die wold be the same. It has taken a hit moving the metal over. You can still see the original shape on the field. Report this Post to the Staff
