  I can see very slight doubling of the date in the scan,
  if that's what you're talking about.
  
  If so, it's the common 'ejection' or 'mechanical'
  doubling that is extremely common on many
  many coins of all dates and denominations,
  including lots of Mercury Dimes............

  It's definitely not the 42/1 D.
