<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 1646078, member: 5036&quot;]Guys, as you know I am a major barber dime collector.&nbsp; I love them, I have built and sold five or six complete sets with the goal of making my number one set a sight to behold.&nbsp; So last Friday I visited a shop and got a couple of nice ones and thought I would check on ebay and see what kind of wonderful stuff existed out there for me.&nbsp; On Saturday I did some browsing and found a seller who was liquidating a collection from the 40&#039;s (yeah right) but they were listing multiple coins per lot.&nbsp; So I watched a few and was browsing through their other lots when I saw something I wasn&#039;t sure about.&nbsp; It was a set of 1942 P,D,S Dimes.&nbsp; Mercury is not my first love, but I have a set and last year I did find three 1942/1 mercs.&nbsp; Yeah, the odds were low, but the picture just seemed to say to me this is a 1942/1 D coin in MS.&nbsp; Here they are from the auction </p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/1942-41possible_zps8c109ff8.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/42-41rev_zpsbbb172bc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>My first thought was someone else would see what I did and there would be a bidding war on, and I wasn&#039;t even a hundred percent sure on the coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t normally take chances.&nbsp; But, come auction close I didn&#039;t get outbid.&nbsp; They arrived tonight and here are the pics. </p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/004-4_zpsec5cfa43.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/011-2_zpse0ae6513.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/42-41d2_zps00d54c4a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/42-41rev1_zpse4c152e6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>It is the real thing.&nbsp; It is already on its way to NGC and then a safety deposit box. I didn&#039;t actually believe the seller when they said they were liquidating a collection from the 40&#039;s but with a fresh coin like this on the market, suddenly I find it a much more credible tale. I am quite in shock.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
