Good Morning, I am looking for some feedback on 4 dimes before I send them off to ANACS. Really just looking for some opinions based upon these pictures. I have 4 different ones so I will post them one at a time. You can actually see a faint 1. It shows clearer under a microscope and higher quality images - however, it could still be called sketchy I guess.   |

This is my 42 - c File. I am pretty sure this is the "Proto Typical" version of this error. Unfortunately, it's not showing up nearly as well as under my scope... >:( I may end up having to re-take and post after Christmas as I don't have time right now to do it.    |

This is my last one. It is my file 42 - D So, I am a novice for sure. I have just started buying coins for a hedge again inflation given I was getting .75% on my CD's at the bank. So, looking at them for errors and stuff was an after thought that someone I know locally said I should do since I was buying them anyway. Thank you all for your much more expert opinions :)    |

They just don't look like the 42/41's that I am familiar with and that show up in the guide books as the recognized varieties. All of the "P" mint 42/41's I've ever seen, or owned, leave no doubt to their over date status with the strong overlying dates.
I just hope you aren't wasting your money getting four coins graded that may only be worth "melt" silver value.
By all means I am no expert so maybe one of the varieties "experts" will chime in and give you more definitive information. Maybe there are other varieties.
Ya never know!

The 1942/1P and D Mercury dimes are die varieties, not errors, and both of them are actually Class 3 Doubled Dies(design hub doubling). Class 3s are created when a die is hubbed with one design and then hubbed the second time with a different design. The most well-known examples involve the date which is usually an obvious design difference. Since they are doubled dies, you will see the notching of serifs and device spread just like other doubled dies. Unfortunately, your coins all display the classic signs of common Machine Doubling, not true hub doubling. |

I agree as well. All four of these are not 42/41's. Don't waste your money sending them in.

Neither the Philadelphia nor Denver versions (Philly is stronger than Denver) leave anything whatsoever to the imagination. They are plainly obvious, the Philly coin easily-seen to the naked eye and the Denver coin only requiring the slightest of magnification. If there's any question whatsoever, they're not. Philadelphia:  Denver:  These are unequivocal. |

The 1942/1941-P may be my favorite US date variety--on a relatively modern coin no less! It's so obvious that I wonder how those coins ever escaped inspection?  Edited by DVCollector

It's so obvious that I wonder how those coins ever escaped inspection? It's spectacular, for sure. In my opinion the 1946 Walker DDR and 1955 Lincoln DDO are up there with it, but they're peers. |

Merry Christmas!
I appreciate all the feedback! Why I wanted to post them somewhere I could actually get a knowledgeable opinion. I did see some of the images and I guess the reality is, if I find an actual correct one, I will really know the difference...lol
I did fail to mention these were "D" versions. My apology.
In follow up, is it an issue to post some other items for opinion on whether they are worth getting graded "Slabbed"?
Thanks again.
