If I look at the 1942S MM seem to be correct. This it is from VV MM 1942S

In MS60 only ANACS cert 1 piece. NCG none and PCGS none. For me this coin has the normal MM for 1941. 1942 and 1943.

Can someone here to explain here where it is the IMM?

I own the anacs pop 1 ms 60, you are correct on the numbers. It is the only current one graded ms60 for the big 3 graders. I'm sure there is others out there that would grade the same or better as others have. For the time being tho I do like having the 1 of 1 lol makes it feel a little special.

PCGS has 2 in64,1 in 65, 1 in 66 and 2 in 67+

The TPG say IMM. It is OK for me but I am not sure about what they say, for this I ask someone to explain me this one.

In any case to have one of the first 10 best graded, yes it is something. The price? we will never understand. I have coins more pricy and was certified more then 500 which are more pricy then one who only 50 or less are knows.

Here the TPG, your and the normal MM:

As I said I'm sure there is others out there that will grade the same or better AS OTHERS HAVE, however currently mine is the only ms 60 graded from them. And until someone else gets one graded as ms60 I will enjoy my tiny spot at the podium lol. There is almost always bound to be one better, I'm ok with that. I will take my tiny temp 1 of 1 grade for now and be happy I even have one lol. Not exactly a ton of them going around.


Kinda looks like you used my pic for mine and the normal in your image there... how are you gonna just use my picture twice and try to claim mine as the normal and not the IMM. I'm pretty sure anacs knew what they were doing when they graded and labeled mine, doesn't matter if you disagree. That's your right to disagree but people put faith and trust into them to know their craft, just saying.

I do not disagree. I just look on all three and I want to know what I have to look for this one particular. All three photos I put are very close one with other, so what are the points to declare IMM. From the begin I ask this. The ANACS it is the best for this kind of coins BUT what determine it is or not?. This it is my question and I will like to have an answer to this.

Your picture it is in the middle. Normal is from VV. I redone the phot with original color from VV. All three photos has same markers near MM. This one is hard to pic.

VV doesn't list the Inv mm on their site. They only list the rpms and the mm styles, I have no idea how you think you got that far right image from VV. You can clearly see it is the same image as the middle which is a crop of my coins mm. You may want to try again before you attempt to discredit someone else's coin yet again.

These are the standard S mms used in 1942 for Mercury dimes

The trumpet tail, of which mine is not...

1942-S-Mercury-Dime-Inverted--MM

And the sans seriff which mine is..

1942-S-Mercury-Dime-Inverted--MM

The smaller thinner portion to which I have pointed the blue arrow at should be on top, mine is not obviously.

BTW these two images come directly from VV so if you had gotten the a image of the normal 1942 S mm for Mercury dimes it would have been either of these two not the one you claim get from there... which again. Is very obviously the image of my coins mm that you are just trying to say is normal and discredit my coin.

I really must know do you do this alot? Go around and post on people's thread and try to talk down about their coins whether legit or not to make yourself out to be more knowledgeable about anything? If that is all you are here to do is be negative to people and their items or inquiries then why the heck are you here and why the heck does anyone allow you to remain here?

I just ask what tell is inverted and how to catch, also what to look for.

I am sorry to accuses me like this for nothing, I think you has to calm down, less aggressive and on defense.

In which language you want me to wrote and you to understand I am interested on how to see this inverted MM. VV do not list IMM and also Wexler, so I want to know.

If you can answer OK, if not someone here will tell me.

Good luck with your behavior.
