texasmick Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 11/24/2006 11:25 pm I'm not into errors and variants, but an auction last week caught my eye: http://cgi.ebay.com/1942-over-1941-...NR_W0QQitemZ 250049014873QQihZ015QQcategoryZ41092QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Is this a legitimate 42/41 overdate? My CDN says that these things go for $400-$500. If so, someone got quite a bargain. Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 11/24/2006 11:59 pm Hi Texas Its very hard to tell from the auction pic,, and thats not a good thing the 42/41 is very easy to see. with doubling of the 4 and the 1 set at the edge of the 2 on one variety and in the middle on the other. This coin does not look Like the overdate and that explains why the bids were low. If you have a coin like this that is to sell raw, extremely good pics are needed. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 11/28/2006 11:35 am No. That is not the genuine 1942/41 dime. The genuine die shows heavy doubling in the 4 as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Morgan Fred Rest in Peace United States 2684 Posts	Posted 12/25/2006 8:33 pm Far too many ebay sellers have overactive imaginations and greedy inclinations. Witness another current topic wherein the seller is trying to sell a common 1907 Liberty Head nickel for two million bucks. Rick is quite correct: the 42/41 variant is quite obvious: http://www.coinpage.com/coin-image-4301.html . Report this Post to the Staff

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 12/29/2006 08:06 am Clearly not the 1942/1 P variety. It doesn't even match the 42/1D and that one is far weaker than the Philly. Report this Post to the Staff
