angellionel Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 03/23/2016 5:10 pm While taking photos of two Mercury dimes I noticed what looked to be a repunched mintmark on this 1942-S. Is it most likely just Mechanical Doubling? The camera I have is an old one, so I am unable to get very sharp macro photos. I hope these are sufficiently clear. Thanks for any assistance!

I don't think its a listed one unsure if it unlisted still novice.. http://varietyvista.com/06%20Mercur...%201942S.htm Report this Post to the Staff

Only three RPMs are listed there, and all have a different serif. It may just be Mechanical Doubling that I'm seeing on the above, but it's always good to have other eyes take a look.
