    This is the real deal. From the image you posted it's hard to tell.

    I don't see the top of the 1 in his pic. Need a better pic to be sure.

    A better picture would help, but it 'appears' it 'may' be 42/1.... Cheers, RickO

    It certainly looks possible. As others have said, a better pic is needed to tell for sure.

    Keep turning it and trying again until you get the light falling where it needs to be.

    Pick up the coin and look at it with a magnifier. Is there a one in front of the 2? It should be quite distinct and obvious on the Philadelphia 1942/41 version but not so much so on the 1942/41-D version struck at the Denver mint.

    Looks like a counterfeit that I have seen before.
    The 1 is not strong enough and I see NO seperation on the 4.

    Sell it on eBay!!! No returns!!!

    Just kidding---If it were my coin, I would take it to a major coin show and get confirmation that it's fake. If fake, then I would donate it to the ANA. They use these counterfeit coins in their counterfeit detection courses and other edductional programs. Also, you can get a write-off on your income tax since this would be considered a charitable donation.
