Hello All, Thanks for reading and offering your opinions. This coin is going on a Walkthough with PCGS and it leaves tomorrow. I know what I think,but the difference in a Single grade POINT with this variety seems to be about 8 to 10k. Id like to hear what grade you guys would assign this coin. I know the pictures could be better, it seems like this is the best I could do. The pics are not retouched in anyway way, I want your honest opinions, so I'm giving you honest photos. It will help me develop a game plan to hear what you think. Thanks a bunch!   |

From the current images, it appears to be in AU - low MS, rather if it is a 42/41 D remains the ? Perhaps take pictures through a loop or magnifying glass.

They are sticklers for the facet on the middle band being COMPLETELY separated. Even if they are 99% of the way there. You will not attain the FB designation. That alone makes the price jump tremendously. Best bet if you didn't send it out yet it to get better pictures of it if you can. Nice score.

 To be honest with you I don't believe it is an overdate. also don't think it's full bands from your photos. you have a hit on her neck and above 9 & 4 in date. there is some kind of dark spot beneath the 2 that I believe has nothing to indicate that it is an overdate. IMHO. |

I'd guess au58 and I also don't see an over date granted the 42/41 p is easier to see. I also don't see full bands either. If your 100% sure it's 42/41d send it in to pcgs or ngc

Really need better photos to be sure, I think I can see enough of the date to say it is the Denver overdate and I am not seeing full bands. With that being said, I don't feel like I have enough information in this pictures to offer a grade. If this was listed on a site like ebay with these pictures and credited as FB 1941/42-D I would not touch it with current photos. This site has a great wealth of info on how to get better photos. ps if you do not have access to a tripod or something, then use a smartphone laid on a coffee cup to hold it steady, and then take a couple of shots. Thanks and JMHO |

I'll go 64 no FB. Very nice coin  Looking again, the reverse seems to be uneven as if it were bent. Is that just the pictures? |

I don't see the diagnostics for the 42-D over 1. Better, larger photo's would help. looking for the fat lower portion of the 4 doubled to the left and the remnants of the 1 at the top and lower parts of the outside of the 2 in the date. similar to this;  I am hoping for you it is an overdate, I just can't tell from the photo's. |

Your best game plan, these images or not, is to assume the worst and be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. I'm not going to attempt a grade, aside offering that I can see enough here to believe that MS63 is likely the ceiling for this coin even if it is Mint State. The bottom band, at least, seems to preclude FB.
Given that you speak so confidently about this being the overdate, sufficient to have become familiar with a PCGS Walkthrough - and I can personally see evidence in your images to support that thinking - we'll stipulate that it is the overdate and hope we're both not unpleasantly surprised. I know at least one member here who can cherrypick the overdate from images like these 9 times out of ten, and I haven't seen him present the tenth yet.

MS63 (at best) and I do not see the overdate. I see some dark "stuff" ----probably a carbon spot---- below the "2" in the date. Better pics would help. Good luck with that very expensive walk thru.
