<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 270488, member: 66&quot;]It is an interesting pieces and has been made clear by now it is not the widely known 1942/1 D dime.&nbsp; Now a question.&nbsp; How can we be sure there is only one 1942/1 D obverse?&nbsp; The 42/1 P was discovered early on.&nbsp; The person who discovered the 42/1 D also discovered it early on but couldn&#039;t get anyone to pay any attention to it because &quot;The overdate is on the Philadelphia coin.&quot;&nbsp; The discoverer of the 43/2 nickel spent almost two decades trying to get anyone to pay attention to it because a cataloger had listed a &quot;1943 nickel with a die crack in the lower loop of the 3 that makes it look like a 3/2&quot;&nbsp; Every time he tried to show it to someone they just dismissed it and said &quot;oh that&#039;s just that variety with the die crack&quot;.&nbsp; I see a lot of people who show a 1972 cent and ask Is this <b>a</b> doubled die?&nbsp; And immediately they get back from everyone &quot;No that is not <b>the</b> doubled die.&quot;&nbsp; That wasn&#039;t what he asked, and there are many doubled dies for 1972.&nbsp; Maybe his is one of those.&nbsp; But no one ever looks.&nbsp; They look for the one major variety that they know about and if it doesn&#039;t match they dismiss it without considering whether it might be something else.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now Just Carl&#039;s dime has some interesting features.&nbsp; Most noticeably what look like part of a 1 above the curve of the 2.&nbsp; I can&#039;t tell from the photo what it is but it might be worth further investigation, other photos etc.&nbsp; Is it dirt? other foreign matter?, the result of damage?&nbsp; I just can&#039;t tell.&nbsp; But I think it might be worth looking closer instead of just dismissing it because it isn&#039;t the variety we already know about.&nbsp; (How do you think new varieties get discovered?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that I am doubtful that it could be an undiscovered overdate for the reason that&nbsp; I am not seeing any evidence of a dual hub anywhere else in the date area.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
