?????ERROR???? Looks like a 2 over 1 on a 1942 P Mercury Dime HELP!

I have this 1942 P Mercury Dime, there's 2 raised bumps on the beginning stroke and a bump on the lower front curved stroke and in between, that is a outline of a full number 1. Worth anything?

It doesnt look like it to me..especially not seeing any doubling on the four, see here: http://mercurydime.net/19421-mercury-dime/

 

Yeah, when looking to cherry a 42/41, I don't look for the 1, I look at the 4.

 

Good advice, thanks.

 

I collect them.

Hello 213Sarah,

I too have found some Mercury dimes with similar mechanical doubling. I'll post some photos here.

Sorry I did not see your November post until today.

Coins like this sell for just a little over the price of silver. I saw one offered by a dealer in Florida & he wanted something like $100. Perhaps he will get the $100 from some person but I rather doubt it.

Those are some killer examples of MD, Collect.

 

I was more interested in the faint 1 under the 2 on my mercury. My photos are blured, they don't have doubling of the whole date. Just a faint #1 under the 2.

 

If it was a 42/41 Merc, you'd see extreme doubling on the four as well. It's probably nothing.

 

The real deal.

 

You own that example? I'd love to own one, but they're in a whole 'nother world for my budget these days.

 

It actually cost me very little 20 something years ago.
