Fasteddy46 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 1:23 pm Started going through some old coins I had. Came across this 1942 Mercury dime. Normal overall except above the f in the word of on the reverse. It looks as if there is another letter stamped there. There is a nick above this on the rim. At first glance I thought it was just pushed down from the rim. After looking at it I figured it wasn't possible since the base of it is wider on both side than the nick itself. It also goes all the way up to the rim and can see the edge of the rim between the two. Any thoughts? I couldn't find any info on another one like this. Thanks in advance. Sorry about the photos. I took them from my phone. Edited by Fasteddy46 01/15/2019 1:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Fasteddy46 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 9:40 pm Ok thanks guys. I was going to put it under the microscope to examine it closer. Of course, I was hoping it would have been something rare. Thanks for the opinions. I appreciate the replies. Report this Post to the Staff
Fasteddy46 New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 10:13 pm Thanks for the help. I'm trying to learn a little more about errors, variety and damage. I appreciate all the help. here's what it looked like under the microscope. Also it's a 42 so I checked for the 42/41 error. I don't think this is but it has a weird 1ish or 7ish shape sticking out of the 2. I doubt it's anything but I'm trying to learn. Here are the numbers pics also Edited by Fasteddy46 02/08/2019 2:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
