Hi guy's, when I get home, my scope will truly make it more clear. But for now, with my pics, can you identify as the variety? The "S" is quite noticeable behind the D. Thanks guy's Sorry for the blurry pics.

    Could be. Looks like something behind it, but too blurry to tell.

    Sorry guys, Here are much clearer pics.
    1942D Maybe not a RPM?



    The 1941 S/S # FS -501? Grade?

    You’ve shown that you’re capable of posting excellent pictures. If you’re going to ask forum members for help with attributions, why not do them the courtesy of posting quality images?

    The 1941 is an RPM for sure....................and a very nice one.

    The dirt around it doesn't look kosher though.

    Sorry, You're right. I have to slow down on my caffeine. I did take some (clear) up-date photos.

    I was going through my Cherry Pickers Guide, and turned to the 1942d Mercury dime. Do you guy's suppose that I have a slight chance of having the 42/1 overdate?
    Even though the date doesn't appear as the 42/1 but maybe my MM DOES?

    100% no.

    42/41 has to be 42/41.
