I think I've found one...but I've been wrong about these before. What do y'all think? I understand the picture are poor quality so it may be unidentifiable. Added a couple extra pics underneath...
Its not necessarily the trace of the D I'm looking for, but the die characteristics themselves. Is that what you guys are looking for? Heres a PCGS AU50 in which I see no signs of a D on.
I've been lucky enough to find 3 weak D coins. One had zero trace of a D. This one has a shot, but it is unlikely. I would still grade it to be sure though.
I say no. There are three diagnostics for a genuine 11-D, all of which were made from the same die pair. Visible on the the coin posted by @Weston is a collar clash at 12:00 on the reverse, which looks like a scalloped edge on the surface of the coin near the edge. Visible under magnification are some vertical die scratches in the recessed area left of the arrow tips, and some die gouges by the front of the beak. I cannot see the collar clash on the coin in the 2x2 above.
The 1911-D with no D visible I had graded did not have these exact marks. I might have gotten lucky though
