<p>[QUOTE="theSharpGun, post: 1888384, member: 39683"]So I've been trying to find the time to image and post this. About a year ago I bought a 1942-D Mercury Dime because I thought it could be the elusive 1942/1-D Overdate Mercury Dime. After showing it to numerous collectors and dealers who told me that there's no way it's legit I sorta put off submitting it to PCGS. Finally I thought "what the heck?" and submitted about 1-2 months ago. Here's how it did:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]321513[/ATTACH] </p><p>There wasn't a single person who told me that it's legit but my gut feeling proved them wrong. It feels like quite a few people underestimate coin collectors under 25 yrs old.</p><p>Anyways, I bought this coin for under $5 at a coin show a year or so ago and now it's a $500+ Mercury Dime variety. I'll probably end up getting a matching 42/1-P Mercury Dime in VF-25 just for kicks but I doubt I'll be able to cherrypick that. With this I'll only need 4 more coins to complete my Mercury Dime collection. This year might just be the year to complete my very first set <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>PS. Sorry for the terrible pic. It was taken on my college notebook. If it wasn't obvious enough I'm procrastinating on college work and stuff.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
