arsave Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 9:14 pm Here is a tough Mercury dime Variety. The 1942-D/D only has a few graded to date at PCGS. This one is raw and probably grades AU. Report this Post to the Staff

arsave Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 03/21/2011 8:31 pm Iowaguy, There are a lot of Mercury dime Varieties. I even made a 1939 DDO discovery! Report this Post to the Staff
Jamez Pillar of the Community United States 750 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 5:44 pm AR, not in tune with the Mercury series but I see an S under that D.. look inside the D at the distance between the horizontal marks. Report this Post to the Staff
arsave Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 03/24/2011 8:38 pm Jamez, It is confirmed as the FS-501 1942-D/D by myself and two additional experts. The line could be a die gouge or something else. There are a number of people who suggested to me the D/S. It sure looks like it doesn't it. Report this Post to the Staff
Jamez Pillar of the Community United States 750 Posts	Posted 03/30/2011 08:44 am must be the photo then, I still see an S under that D. even doing an overlay with photoshop an S matches up with the crossbar inside the D. or perhaps the shadow inside the D and it looks like it has the bulb at the end of the lower loop in the S? The arc of the under MM from 3:00 to 6:00 doesn't line up with the D MM. has more of a curve to it. optical illusions? Report this Post to the Staff
acloco Pillar of the Community United States 3540 Posts	Posted 03/31/2011 7:30 pm From the photo, I am in agreement with Jamez as well. D over S. Report this Post to the Staff
