NSS-52 No, sadly not. Just listing. The plastic as scrateched over the date in ebay pics, but I recognized the die - I think, or I thought. You can see the one under the two but only at angles. Trying my polarized filter and others now...

I was pretty sure I had seen both sides of this coin on PCGS main 42/1 D listing. Looks like first image FB is the same die...

Maybe a 42/43. Or even a 42/45.
Actually I think it looks normal.
