Basically the US coins have upside down reverses and foreign coins don't. So it's hard to tell about the reverse 180 degree rotation/ or normal...

IMO it's not a D. Whatever made the impression in the center, pushed the other metal around to form a rim, and it just coincidentally looks like a D.

Quarter in the inside front right corner, so it wasn't really visible. But I saw a silhouette and went for it. The way things are going these...
There are three types of just the 3 cent silver pieces. (And then the 3 cent nickel would be the 4th type.) Type 1 No Star Outline 1851-1853...
