    Hey guys I went to an auction yesterday and bought a book of Mercury dimes. It wasnt full nearly 3/4 full. Some of the dimes were out of place but after buying them I went home and analyzed them fairly closely and found a possible 1942/1-S coin. The top of the "2" has a point on the top and it looks like it may be the top of a "1". I took a couple pictures. One of the coin by itself and one with the possible error coin beside a 1942 non-error coin for comparison. I posted this here because for some reason the error coin forum will not allow me to post larger files of greater than 500kb.

    I don't know if one exists for San francisco, and this link doesn't show a 42/1-S but there are some good pictures of the 42/41-P and 42/41-D

    Looks like a die chip to me.

    Does that make the coin worth any more than normal?
