    Alright, it may be that I have just looked at this coin too much but it is looking quite interesting. What I would really love to see is one of the super ninja photographers do an overlay of a "D" into the 5 area just so I can sleep. As always, I'm welcome to any comments.

    It's a die break/chip. Go to sleep.

    I was thinking that but the shape of it is questionable

    I would agree it is probably just a die break, but I can understand why one would question it as being a "D," though the marks are rather heavy and distinct which would be untypical for a misplaced mintmark. If it was BU and an EDS example I might give it another look.

    I figured as much. Just wanted to get some feedback. Thanks all and excellent overlay dollar. Thanks again
