kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 3:41 pm Last picture is the best. Something dug into the 2 and rotated the metal to the left. I suppose it's possible that it was a deliberate attempt to make a 2/1. Report this Post to the Staff
Jimcu New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 3:44 pm Oh well. Coin collecting is hard. This could take years lol. I'm having fun though. As long as I'm not being a pest to this obviously knowledgeable and thorough crew. Thanks again. I'm uncrossing now. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21597 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 3:49 pm Agree that it has probably taken a hit. There are two varieties of the 42/1. This is the closest to what you have but see the notch in the 4 and how the 1 extends below the 2. Report this Post to the Staff

jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 08/03/2021 8:30 pm It looks damaged or altered to me. Either displaced metal or a bit of solder is my guess.

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 08/05/2021 1:14 pm to the CCF I concur that damage was done intentionally. I find it difficult to otherwise comprehend how unintended damage could occur in such a small, "strategic" area of a 1942 dime. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/08/2021 11:59 am You can tell by the 4 that it is not a 42/41. Report this Post to the Staff
