Unfortunately, Jason isn't around to witness this, but the 1956 D/D just came back from NGC today. I sent several coins and am happy with the grades, but, NGC did not/would attribute the 56D as RPM-016/FS-502 (as I submitted it for Variety Plus) - just a plain ole 56D MS65 RD. No explanation. I stuck it under the scope again, to make sure I wasn't seeing something not really there, and took some pics.
The die scratch under BE of Liberty is there as MDS for CC, and the stage B die crack on the shoulder is there for VV as is the die scratch into the N of IN.
The only thing I can think of is the secondary D is very weak (shows better under less light) and NGC simply decided it wasn't D/D.
Any thought?

Jason can't reply, but he can read posts, and I assure you, he does. He will see this.

After two attempts (I admit I wasn't very diligent in my attempts), I finally got NGC to research their non-variety designation on the coin holder, and they admitted today it was an internal error. They also failed to designate a 1909 S RPM-001. Free shipping label to return, no fees, expedited service. Going back in the mail tomorrow.

Well the saga continues. NGC sent back both coins, but the 56D remains a non-variety, no explanation. I called them again, they were supposed to call me back this morning with an explanation. Still waiting. Meanwhile, I studied the coin again, and I'm really having trouble seeing the D/D - I thought for sure earlier there was a faint outline of D/D under low light, but now I can't replicate that view. Please look at these pics and let me know if you think it's the FS-502.
