Paul Engelbrecht New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 02:03 am I have both of these 1942-D Mercury dimes in my new pile. One is pretty obvious but the other is not quite as apparent. they have the nearly exact same double mint marks. But the over date is not as apparent on one. The difference I think is in the wear. I lean towards them both being over dates. Whadya think? Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Engelbrecht New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 10:21 am They both have the same die crack or scratch NE out of the top right round part of the 9. The one is so dirty it is hard to get good pics. The overdate does round the bottom of the 4 to the west. I have been spritzing it with hot water trying to clean it out but that stuff is stubborn. Can you safely use a steam pen or something to get the grunge out of the inside of the 2? Edited by Paul Engelbrecht 02/08/2019 10:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
