    I can see something under the 42 but because I don't study dimes I have no idea what I'm seeing. What's it?

    Before the pics loaded, and all I read was "Guessing AU 50ish" I was telling myself - YES... a new 1919 DDO Top Pop worth probably about $15k...

    I'm almost ashamed to admit I was disappointed when it was "just" a roughly 1k 42/41 lol.

    But... hell of a find in an album for sure, congrats! (Now go find us an AU 1919 DDO) 8-)

    Great !
    Back during the first boom, 1979, I didn't get dinner until 1 or 2 am. I was busy on the floor of the shop louping the '42 Mercs.......I never did find an overdate, but others did, quite often.
