I saw this one too. ID'd the variety but clearly not what he claims it to be. It's bad enough that it is obviously circulated and scratched with...
Sounds like a die chip. Likely no added value, unless it is REALLY large. In all likelihood, it is only worth 25c to 50c. Wait for other...

You can't sal!! you gotta pick someone else, silly goober :)
WOW! This was an exciting find. 1917 D. If only it was a year older!
