Mikey - what are you seeing? This does not seem to be the overdate.

Left side of the bottom of the 4. Small tab on top of the 2 and the double mint mark. As you know the 1 is not evident on the Denver 42/1.

So type coin do you agree I have a shot. If you look at as many as I have there are always some differences especially on the 2 sometimes you get the top and bottom of the 1 sometime only the top. And some of the slabbed ones I question because the 4 is so distorted I believe they got it wrong.

I see the tiny mark on the lower left of the 4. Have you blown up the pic and taken a closer look? I don't have the software to do that. My gut says no on this one.

Mikey, I blew up the photo from the original listing and played with the contrast,brightness,enlargement, ect.
I do see what you see at the left side of the bottom of the 4, but it may just be a spec there as I see other specs or die chips on the coin in that area especially between the 9 and 4 (upper part) I also see a small tab at the top of the 2.
I am 50/50 on this being the 42/1 D. I had one and it was slabbed by ANACS,(VF-30) but it was not as nice as this one,it may be harder to see because of the grade.
I think it would be worth a shot. Just my opinion.
Good luck!

OP's coin is LDS or into VLDS. A couple of peripheral reverse die cracks on the left and also one running over most of MERIC. The lowest leaf that touches the "D" mint mark has all but been polished away. That will have an effect on date-related variety die markers.
I won't make a call on the overdate from the pictures, would need to see it on 10x or better. Focus on the date. Look for a die chip (the overdate) in the upper and lower insides of the 2, a slight tab below the leftmost bottom edge of the 2, and under the base of the 4's leg.
But keep in mind that in 64+ condition a real 1942/1-D would bring mid to upper 4 figure prices (PCGS has a total pop of 10 in MS-65 or higher!) so if you got it raw and for cheap, I'd be suspicious.
Attractive light toning highlighting the surface flow. MS64 FB (center band is slightly weak at middle but it's a LDS+ coin and no hits on the bands so it would slab FB in my opinion.)
