<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CaptHenway, post: 8728603, member: 13813&quot;]FWIW, many years ago when I was working at a coin shop in Chicago, we got in a deal where there were multiple boxes of coin tubes, 100 tubes to the box, where some old coin collector/hoarder/whatever had sorted average circulated stuff into for many years. Looked like the kind of stuff you got out of rolls in the 1950&#039;s and early 1960&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the Mercury dime boxes there would be maybe half a tube of 1916 plains, a third of a tube of 1916-S, 3/4ths of a tube of 1917 plain, etc. Starting in the 1930&#039;s there were multiple tubes of each date and mint mark. Maybe 6 to 7 rolls of 1942 plain and about 3-1/2 rolls of 1942-D&#039;s. Before I dumped stuff into the coin counter, I checked them for overdates. Did not find any 1942/41-P, but I found two average circ. 1942/41-D. From this I would speculate that at least part of the mintage of the 1942/41-D were released in the Chicago area, though of course I cannot prove it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
