That's the correct RDV for the date and strike type. CAM.
I've never seen a satisfactory answer for the groove under the outer devices. Given how much material is flowing at the point of coining, it is...
Mintmark is fine (or was), but as noted by our fellow enthusiasts, plating blisters and the effects of hydrozincite are prevalent.
A high grade 1942 D is worth more than a 1942 P/S Silver, but your specimens don't appear to be high grade. 1942 D specimens were an Achilles...
Here's the link to Coppercoins. See if you have the reference markers. Pics are too magnified to confirm alignment, but the mark at 2:30 on the...
This was going to be cast out at the LCS when I stumbled upon it. 1956-D/D RPM 3. Sometimes we are in the right spot...right time. [ATTACH]

To add to the stats - Consecutive years/mms - 1935 to Present (85 years...but the 2021's are not far off) Most common Buffalo - 1936 (13 so far)...
