j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 12/03/2007 06:41 am When I'm looking for the 1942/1 error, should I keep my eyes out solely for 1942 coins that may have the die error or would there be a resultant 1941 from the error? Also, what other Mercurys, besides 16-D, 21, and 21-D should I keep my eyes out for? Thanks, Jim Report this Post to the Staff

jcook54 Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 12/03/2007 08:11 am The 1926S, 1930S, 1931D and the 1931S are all fairly rare dates. The 1916D, obviously, is the most rare. As far as what to look for on the error, I will have to confess a lack of knowledge and await a reply to learn for myself. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/03/2007 11:31 am J H S The over date on the 1942/1 was a hubbing of a 1941 hub and then re-hubbing with a 1942 hub. Thus the Variety (not error as varieties are made into the die. Errors are worn dies/machine doubling/off center strikes/off metal strikes/broad struck/ ETC. The difference being that normal coins was made from this die until damaged. On a variety every coin struck with this die will have the same anomaly.)So the over date would be on the 1942 dimes Philly or Denver. Only one die from each mint made these. They are not common and highly desired thus worth a lot more than a normal one. But it is a variety an over-date. Report this Post to the Staff
