[QUOTE="jeff5683, post: 1565714, member: 36228"]I came across this dime while going through a box of coins at work last week. It was the only silver piece in $250 of dimes. I was just excited it was a Mercury! Later on I realized the 4 and 2 looked funny. I pulled out my Red Book and saw that there was an error that year. This is a D mint coin, and so the error is less detectable than it would be on the P mint issue. These are the best photos I could get. 1st has flash, the other 2 regular room lighting. I have an old 6.3 Megapixel SLR.. I'm going to try to borrow a friends 12 MP camera soon. I have a non-error 42 dime, which looks different. I also compared this photo to other 2/1 errors as well as non-error 42 dimes... To me, it looks like the base of the 4 looks double-wide and longer, and the front of the 2 looks flat. It's definitely a circulated coin.. I'm hoping for the best, but would love for some of your opinions!
