Comments:  This variety is sure to be debated.  I believe that it is a D/Inverted D.  The curvature to the left of the primary D is raised and consistent with an inverted D.  A vertical bar of the D shows inside the primary D at a slight angle still consistent with the external curvature  I would welcome the opportunity to study an uncirculated EDS specimen of this variety.
