1957 D Jefferson 5c Slanted D

Got some nice finds at an estate auction, seems this fellow liked to play nickel slots, he brought home rolls of 5c every time he went.

SO...I gained a few BU nickel rolls.

In going over the original bank roll of 1957 D I found a bunch of D mint marks that are slanted, in photo one you see where the bottom of the D is kicked out to the rim as compared to photo two where it is not.

Is there a variety any where on this? and what would the number be so I may get NGC to grade it correctly?

Mint marks that are slightly off-axis are quite common. There's not a cherrypicker's variety for this coin. The '57-D is fairly common in grades through MS65 and only garners a premium in higher grades, with nice toning, and/or with full steps.

I don't remember exactly when the mintmark stopped being punched by hand, but it was later than this. As such, off centered, off axis, wildly misplaced, or other such mintmarks don't garner a premium. A repunched mintmark would usually fetch a small premium, and an overmintmark definitely will.
