CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 02/15/2016 5:48 pm Makes me wonder if it's pot metal or actually silver. What does it weigh? Report this Post to the Staff

BJ Neff Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 02/28/2016 10:41 am Just a comment - this is not an overdate, but an actual doubled die since it was hubbed with a 1941 working hub and a 1942 working hub. Overdates ceased to exist after 1908 in U. S. coinage. BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff
