Just got this today after buying it on ebay. These are the photos the seller posted. I tried to take pics with my camera but they didn't turn out very good. The dime I received is definitely the one in the photos. I was hoping some Mercury dime fans could verify for me that it is a true 1942/1 D, and maybe give me an opinion as to the condition. As always I appreciate any advice I can get.    |

It looks like the real deal to me. Your first photo makes it pretty clear with the little nub under the 4 and the 2 in the date. As far as grade....  I'm good at finding Mercs, but that's about it!  |

Looks good from my porch. I have it at F15, and having looked up the auction, I'm of the opinion that you got an excellent deal.

I appreciate the information. I'm trying to decide whether to put it in my album or send it to a TPG for certification. |

That is a real one for sure. You can see that little stub under the 4. The presence of the 1 is not the best but can be seen. I would simply put it in my Album. If you have an Album with the slot of it, no sence in keeping it blank. Nice coin and possibly somewhere between F-12 and VF-20. Not sure what you paid but possibly would be in the $600 to $800 ranges.

I paid $355.00 for it. There were a lot of bids on it, but apparently nobody else wanted it too bad.

It will want to be TPG-certified for liquidation, but nothing's stopping you from popping it into an album for the moment.  |

TPG would be great if you want to prove it's real and the grade.

It looks good to me. May grade F-15, possibly VF-20. Nice pickup! |
