<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 7927523, member: 74863&quot;]We should all know that in the Winged Liberty Head or more commonly called The Mercury Dimes, there is one overdate, the 1942/41. The overdate occurred on both the Philadelphia and Denver issues. </p><p><br /></p><p>The wings in Liberty’s cap are meant to symbolize Liberty of Thought. This series was issued from 1916 until 1945. The change from Mercury to Roosevelt was due to Roosevelt’s death. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the Philadelphia overdate, the one is quite clear. The 4 is slightly doubled and the 1 is clearly showing to the left of the 2. The Denver issue is more difficult to see. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess we can say that even in the early 1940’s Denver has had better quality control. The 4 is doubled but only a little and the 1 barely shows. I enclosed a photo from the Red Book to show the difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please remember that more than 1 die was used to mint the overdate(s) and therefore a number of varieties exist. On my 42/41-D it is barely visible in hand and you can only see it on the coin if you known where and what to look for. My cell just doesn’t work for this. It is graded so hopefully everyone will take NGC word on this. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1370120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1370121[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1370122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1370123[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
