merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 11:01 pm After reading NumismaticsFTW's posting yesterday, I went through my 300+ Mercury duplicates and cherrypicked this one from my own collection! It's a difficult one to find, and mine was hiding right under my nose! I wish it was in better shape, but hey, it's my only one. What do you think? https://www.PCGS.com/coinfacts/coin...010-8/145475 Report this Post to the Staff

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2281 Posts	Posted 12/03/2021 11:11 pm Great find! There's tons of collectors that don't know about the D mint one. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Edited by NumismaticsFTW 12/03/2021 11:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/04/2021 12:22 am I owe it all to NumismaticsFTW and everyone here on CCF! Without the post identifying what to look for, this coin would have remained buried in my collection. You are are all wonderful! I love CCF! Thank you all! The lesson learned here is to take a look at less than pristine examples of this rare bird and look for indicators of this overdate that are hiding in plain sight The hidden 4 and foot of the 1 aren't something you normally look for in lower grades, but if you're lucky, now that you know, maybe more of these will turn up. The Denver mint tried to clean up the date, but remnants show they didn't get it all. Bonne chance! Edited by merclover 12/04/2021 02:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
