<p>[QUOTE="PittsburghMom, post: 1427265, member: 34903"]There's not a lot to see yet, but here's the cleaner 1942 dime. It's definitely not the book version of the overdate, but the 4 has the strange step like thing that goes up and to the right, there is a skinny line between the 4 & 2 and the right hand side of the 1 & the 9 show a tiny bit of doubling. It's not the overdate shown on PCGS though, so I'm guessing that means there's another explanation. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]174119.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]174120.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some of the 1942-D coin. I'll keep working on better pics. This Celestron hasn't been the easiest to work with. I saw someone mention that it's sometimes best to dip these in acetone to make the "1" stand out more. Should I try that? Actually, after staring at these coins for awhile, I'm at a point where I don't even know if I see an overdate anymore! Feel free to give opinions. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]174139.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
