Paul Engelbrecht New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 9:34 pm I have this 1931 P Mercury dime I could not find any VAM attributions for. Is this a rarity or so common no one mentions it. LOL Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Engelbrecht New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 01/12/2019 6:19 pm Thank you John, ken Potter has a bank vault of knowledge I have bookmarked his page. I have a treasure trove of DDO, DDR, and RPM errors or MD DDD errors, as you suggested above, in about 100 mercury and Roosevelt dimes I am just now digging into. I bought a collection of over 200 dimes most in MS state full bands I had no idea was full with mint errors. Imagine my surprise when my first loop look landed on these 2 1946-P Roosevelt's. I searched everywhere to be sure I wasnt dreaming. Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Engelbrecht New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 01/12/2019 6:57 pm What do you think of this 1942-D Mercury dime is it 42/1 ? I have a hard time with some of these I have 5 in this hoard most of ms 60++ and shine so bright under the scope its hard to read them. the D looks very doubled on the back but hard to see doubling in the motto.

Paul Engelbrecht New Member United States 13 Posts	Posted 01/12/2019 8:36 pm I was wondering, but it does have a complete doubled D. Its hard to see in the picture you can see the remnants of the complete D on the left side 1/4 way down and reemerging at the bottom and to the left. It shows perfectly under a loop. My magnifier is not the best. It's why I was seriously considering a 42/1 also. By the way does anyone have a recommendation for a USB camera with 1-80 power for taking great pictures.
