    1942 Mercury with crack in the die.jpg 1942 Mercury dime with crack in die, closeup.jpg I have a 1942 Mercury dime that appears to be "cracked". Can anyone verify this? Is it unusual?

    I am not an expert on errors, but it looks more like some kind of Lamination, not a die crack.

    I have a new question.... One of the other Mercury dimes looks like the 4 and the 3 are together. Opinions? IMG_3043.JPG IMG_3042.JPG
