Thoughts please, 1943 S Jefferson Nickel 4.49 g with possible error D stamp near L in Liberty

Lets hear thoughts please. Found in change 1943 S weighs only 4.49 g. It looks like a D stamp next to L in Liberty on Obverse. More defined through my 10mm 10X jewlers loop. Took pics. Warning I am not a pro photographer. Thanks for any feedback. TACH]

It's all damage. Between the wear and tear seen on the coin, I would say it is within tolerance.

 

It's a silver war nickel. Worn.
Unlike clad nickels from other years, the 1943 Nickel was 56% copper, 35% silver, and 9% manganese.
Damage on the surface.

Not a stamp of any kind.

Environmental Exposure will cause the copper mixed with silver to form those small burst holes. I've have found a few when metal detecting.

 

Yes, damaged. But nice find for change!

 

When I was actively metal detecting this is what a 'dug' silver nickel looked like .

It’s just a silver war nickel with damage added. Not a D near Liberty. It looks like a D but it’s nothing more than a pot hole shaped like a D.

 

Yes.. That's what I told him earlier

 

Still silver is silver,nice change find and keep on stacking them up overtime!!.

 

Are you sure its not an O? I see others on there that look like Os.

 

Oh good, I hope more members said the same thing.

 

Picked up a 43 P as well, much better condition still worn of course. Thanks for your thoughts.

 

looks like it was shot out of a cannon
