I haven't worked out how to use this phone camera yet.
there is a tiny remnant of the bottom of the d there, but didn't know what would classify as missing

What year is it Rob?  Looks fairly good, but a close-up might take away any doubt.

I am afraid I have to side with Nevol on this one.   Very slight remnance of a possible "D" there.

Looks like a no SD to me
Put it under a magnifier to be sure

A lot of these "No SD" Coins are a direct result of a grease filled die.
So Yes this one can be considered as a NO SD and in rather nice condition as well :ok:

May I ask, whats no sd ?

Hey P27, do you have a price guide be it Greg McDonald or Rennik and if so have a look and under the pic you should find the specs of the coin stating the designer of the obverse and reverse weight, composition and size so the SD are the initials for Stuart Devlin who designed a lot of the reverse for 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and dollar coins but don't think he had anything to do with the $2, and some, mainly 2 cent can be found with out the SD.
Here's a link that I hope help :)

In the hand and x5 it is very difficult to see. No trickery here, just the light coming from another direction.
