Need Help - Is this Mercury a 1942-D 2 over 1

I was searching thought a bunch of dimes I bought and it looks close to the picture shown in the Red Book as a 1942-D 2 over 1...opinions. I doubt I would be this lucky.

Thanks for your help.

For what it's worth, other 1942 Merc dies show traces of the 1 under the 2. I would never buy a 42/1 D, the under digit simply isn't clear enough. The accepted 42/1 is pretty obvious and therefore cool tho.
