One good thing I see on your coin is that it has full bands on the reverse.(FB)

The middle bands do not look full to me.

Flashback may be distracting. How about a sharp close-up of the full fasces, shown right-side up?

I have one like that (cheap usb micro) and I found that turning off the light that is ON the thing and using a flashlight helps a lot. They are very hard to get a good image with. Great for seeing tiny details, but terrible at making a nice full pic. Takes a fair bit of practice.

Not sure about the top bands being fully split but it's awfully close .

I assume your question is whether this is a 1942/1-D. I don't think so based on the pics, but it's pretty close.

I don't have the best imaging gear. I took this coin to coin shop in Phoenix Az, he said it looked-like the over date. The gentlemen was very professional an polite but he had one eye an slight Hand tremors when looking at my coin. So who knows, still like the coin. Thank all

Like I said, it looks very close to the real thing. Probably best assessed in hand or with better photos.

"close" isn't enough to be Full Split Bands. These upper bands ruin the FSB for this coin, sorry.

I'm referring to the overdate question, not FSB. Anyone else have an opinion?
