    Xperfectx Forgive me, I am new here and curious.

    I was curios about this 1942 D Mercury Dime, 2 over 1- type 2. If its infact what I believe it is and how I should go about selling it? 20200924_042649~2.jpg 20200924_042659~2.jpg

    I've seen a 42 over 41, but it must have been a Ty I, I don't see this one. Wait for other opinions.

    No sir.... I have the 42/41 and it is so prominent that I don't even need my reading glasses to see it. There's is no question about the 42 over 41. That's one you can see from a mile away. Sorry bout that. Still is a nice Merc.

    Not sure what you are comparing it to, but I can't see it as one.

    FYI everyone, OP's coin is a Denver mint coin. Not THE 42/41 clear as day Philly coin.
    That being said, the two links I posted are for the 42/41 Denver coin and OP's still isn't it.

    No, the 2 over the 1 Mercury Dime error is easily to see and yours isn't one of them. Better luck next time! thumbsup.gif

    I cherry picked one once, and that doesn't look like it

    PS: Not an error, it is a variety

    Your all saying no but, i can see it clear as day with a loop. My photos are not high enough of a rez, however if you look closely at the 4 you can see the spine of the DD 4 peeking out. Also on the top of the 2 the 1 is peeking out. Again I'll get higher rez images because it's clearly visible in person.

    Did you look at my links?
    Yours is not like those. Period.

    Afraid it's not the overdate

    Here's what one looks like:

    The overdate appears at the bottom of the numbers, not at the top like you said.
