<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim K, post: 3605414, member: 91282&quot;]So what do you folks make of this coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a 1943-P Mercury dime which not only has a clearly tripled date, Liberty, and several letters in the motto, but also has a tail on the 4, which may, or may not be a repunched date. As I have never seen one, and have no reference, I was wondering what some of the experts may think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every so often, I buy a roll of dimes, simply for the bullion and the fun of picking through them to find that rare diamond in the rough. This roll was particularly kind to me as I managed to find a 1945 micro S, along with the coin I have pictured.</p><p><br /></p><p>The top two photos are of the full coin, obverse and reverse. The last photo shows the tail on the 4....no, its not damage as the metal is clearly raised. Of course it could be a die break.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess I was wondering how common it was to repunch dates in 1943? As most know, the 1942 had that wonderful error of being punched over a 1941. This coin appears to be similar, although not as pronounced and, as far as I know, undocumented.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just wondering what everyone&#039;s opinions are. Maybe if Bill Fivaz or JT Stanton are tuned in to this thread, they may add this to the book! (Smile).</p><p><br /></p><p>Please let me know. All comments are welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>Note, the photos do not do justice to the tripling, but the letters are clearly tripled when looking at the raw coin. The tripling is rather dramatic, so I posted it here.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]965293[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965295[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965296[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965297[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965298[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]965299[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
