I can't believe that nobody notice the missing 'd'.
Judging from some of the other letters (near where the 'd' should have been) it looks like it was possibly scratched off.

I agree that someone probably would have noticed a missing letter when it was being made.
But if it was removed later (e.g. by vandals) then I find it very believable that no-one had got around to getting it fixed.
