peaece13 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 04/04/2015 2:45 pm Hello, Just searched through a lot I picked up this week and pulled a 1942/1P (Damaged/bent) on the very first coin I pulled out of the bag (pictured below.) My question is the magnified picture though, something looks off on the 4 to me, just curious if this is just a fluke 1942-d? Any and all help is greatly appreciated....

peaece13 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 04/09/2015 8:21 pm Thank you to everyone, I suspected as much on the other 42. Still can't believe that this was the first coin I pulled out of a 1000 Mercury dimes that day... Report this Post to the Staff

JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 04/15/2015 1:09 pm The 1942/41-D variety is actually a DDO, not an overdate, so you should see faint doubling across the entire obverse. But the best die marker is on the reverse of the coin. ALL 1941/42-D's have a D/D RPM. On the obverse, the doubling is most apparent on the designers initials and IGWT. Hope this helps.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 9:08 pm I'm a bit confused. I didn't see a reverse for the D. Did I miss a photo? And you said it was a bent coin. How badly bent is it? Looks like a 42/41 to me so nice find. Quote: ALL 1941/42-D's have a D/D RPM. More confused. Never heard of a 41/42. Of course the Mint could have called back some 42's and stamped 41 over them. Edited by just carl 04/22/2015 9:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
