SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 12:33 pm Why limit yourself to a single small pic in the Red Book when there are dozens of high-resolution images available all over the Internet? And every_single_one of them disagrees with you. We're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. It isn't the overdate, and your own images prove that fact. I note you haven't allowed these closeup images into your ebay auction for the coin. Somebody's going to be disappointed. Fortunately, you're asking $100 over market so with luck nobody will bite.

UncleLuc Valued Member Canada 270 Posts	Posted 05/23/2015 1:30 pm I took the coin down, just because it seems as tho I am being "whitch hunted" over it, and I find that really frustrating. The fact that I am being basic accused of being purposely misleading with pictures on my ebay ads is a darn joke!! I am trying to build a really honest ebay profile, and for you to make comments like that, especially being a moderator....(holds tongue).... I replied to the topic saying that under a MICROSCOPE, the piece clearly has a 1 under the 2, AS WELL AS Machine Doubling! The coin is in a PCGS holder, certified by 2 or maybe even 3 different graders. Why would I ever assume it was NOT the overdate? I would never, EVER purposely deceive my buyers!! As I said, the measly profit attached to this piece is in no way worth arguing over, or being accused of lying to, or cheating my customers. My main point, the coin is CERTIFIED. Being a moderator, I ask that you lock or remove this thread, as it has become unproductive, and I received 50+ responses that could have been used actually helping other members. Thanks.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/22/2016 1:03 pm Just machine damage on the date. Even the 9 is showing it. Here is the location of the mint mark on the 1942/1-D dime: The location is different. But even if the mint mark location was the same, it wouldn't prove it to be the 1942/1-D dime. It is the hub doubling that proves that it is that die. This is a side by side of the two dates and mint marks. This helps us see that they are not form the same dies. The clincher? The shortness of the '4' bottom part. That tells me that it is not the 1942/1-D DDO. Report this Post to the Staff
