  FadetoBlack is correct, highly unlikely that it is an overdate but that doesn't prevent it from being a REALLY COOL variety!
  
  Here is my Top Pop MS67FB that is going up for sale on GreatCollections within a couple of weeks.
  You can clearly see what looks like a "2" under the 3. It is a desirable variety for sure.
  
  
  As for others, just the 1942/1 and 1942/1-D.
  There are a TON of dates that have Machine/Mechanical/Shelf Doubling on the date that are really cool but they are not true
  varieties and therefore do not carry much of a premium.

  Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner.

  Yes, that 2 under the 3 are just well placed die gouges!

  << <i>Has there been any other Mercury overdates other than 1942's? I have bought a 1918 that will be here in a few days. I always jump the gun as I should wait until I have the coin in hand before posting but......!!!! LOL Thanks for putting up with my thoughts!!!! >>
  
  
  
  I once saw a 1918 dime that the owner thought was an overdate, but it was just a tiny die mark on the upper right curve of the 8 that had nothing of what Bill Fivaz calls "character." We returned it at a normal coin.
