[QUOTE="asciibaron, post: 223323, member: 8566"]i have been looking closely at my 1942-D and it appears to be a double die. the 4 and 2 show artifacts of each number under and slightly offset of the current number. the face of Liberty has an outline from the top of the cap to the truncated bust. i wish i had a macro lens for my DSLR so i could show you what i'm seeing. at first i thought it was a mechanical DD, but it really appears that the die was doubled - anyone have a record of this double die - the Lange book makes no mention of much of anything other than the 2 over 1 in 42. i think i scored big if this proves to be a non-mechanical double die. when i bought it, i noticed it looked slightly different than the others, but i wasn't sure why. i can only see the doubling with the 10x glass and it really stands out in bright light. i'll try to get a picture tonight with my wife's digicam - it has a macro feature, but the camera isn't that great. -Steve[/QUOTE]
