Anyone missing a 1942/41dime?

bestday · January 20, 2021 12:17PM

Bought 300 junk silver dimes.. looking thru the dimes ,found a 1942 Mercury dime with a lot of luster ..took it to my B&M dealer.. he said it is 1942/41 Mercury Dime .. Au 58 - Ms60.. He said maybe a collector mixed the dime with junk silver..
He is sending it off to Pcgs ,no charge ,as long as he gets to make an offer when dime is graded

Um, yeah, it’s mine. He can have PCGS drop-ship it to me after slabbing.

NO, NO, It's mine I tell you. Been looking for it since the 60's. LMAO !!! Seriously, nice find.

So that's where it went, I can describe it to prove its mine.

Why do collectors always want to split the AU58/low MS grades? It either has circulation rub on the high points or it doesn't, indicated by the cartwheel luster. Can anyone explain to me so I understand better? thx

I'm missing mine now and probably will be missing mine tomorrow, etc. Now that is a lucky way to start the year. Congrats. PICS?

Nice going !
Back during the boom, it wasn't unusual to buy a thousand or two Mercs during the day. That's the variety that kept me on the floor, sorting out the 42's before bagging up the junk. It was normal to catch dinner at midnight or one. I didn't find the overdate then, but I did find a few in subsequent years......
