Why no posts on the 1942 Mercury Dime ? I did a search (at the top of the forum page) and not much turned up. Just a few very old "looking for" posts.

The more common coins don't seem to get the attention they deserve. If you've got one share some pictures and tell us about it!
It's just a circulated common one I'm pretty sure. But I thought there would be posts on the elusive 1942/1 overdate. Were they only minted in P's and D's ? Mine doesn't appear to have a mint mark.
The 42/1 was only struck at P and D mints.
Show us a photo of yours.
Here's the not so clear cellphone pic and closeup
Here are photos of mine:

So that's what it looks like. Awesome ! Thanks for sharing. Mine looks like it has been gouged or tampered with. It was my late grandfather's.
Here is mine.

Kennedys are my quest...
Tip of the cap to you for reading the posts by others and using them to get to the right answer. Most of the people who come here -- including one today -- don't get that far. I hope you stick around!
