Question re US coin

Zohar · April 22, 2012 10:37AM

I know this is not the right forum yet perhaps there is someone within this friendly group that can assist. I had cleared my old US low grade set I collected as a kid. I have 2 pieces of the 1942 Mercury Dimes which I wrote down as 1942/1 Overdate. Can anyone advise if this is the case? Unclear to me. Thanks a bunch.

1942

1942-D

Looks like a 1942/1 to me

Zohar · April 22, 2012 10:46AM

Thanks I see the 4 perhaps having an overdate. The 2/1 is covered with crust. I want to put it on ebay yet not misrepresent. If there was a way to remove the crust.

Looks good to me but I would post this on the US forum.

Are they nice over there to new members?

marcmoish · April 22, 2012 11:53AM

hey Z - the first one is the O/D, the 2nd one I don't believe is an O/D altogether - and yup try US they won't bite.

Actually extremely helpful. I dipped in acetone and "Voila" the first is a clear O/D. The second is said to be by one of the forum members and by looking at the other sample it is a more subtle O/D.

I think the same that they would appreciate you posting this on the US coin side. You could get more info as well. With regards to your statement above. You are not a new member and look at your number of post as well. You sir are a Veteran of our PCGS forum community.

u causin a lil ruckus in the lite-side with your discovery... don't get to chummy and dump darkside for lady mercury now

Zohar · April 23, 2012 11:44AM

They really helped me reveal the overdate. I will sell these to fund a taler purchase.

Z - congrats on your overdates. If you haven't decided already, I strongly suggest sending to PCGS or NGC for slabbing. Even if they net grade the coins, at least they'll have been certified as genuine overdates.

Will do in next submission - thanks.

Just got grades from NGC - confirmed as both being overdates

You did good - congrat's!

Now sell 'em so you can hog the blogsphere with more Talers

TwoKopeiki · May 17, 2012 6:26AM

Nice score, Z! Now flip them for some darkside silver and make sure to wash your hands after touching those tainted US coins

That first overdate is a nice one.

Zohar · May 17, 2012 6:27AM

Trust me will do need to get a sense of value.

WWW · May 17, 2012 6:31AM

Overdates are cool, even when they come from the Liteside.

1942/41

1942/41 - D
