Radiant Gem Full Bands 1942/1-D Dime

1942/1-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. The 1942/1-D Mercury dime overdate is both more difficult to see and more elusive--facts which may be interconnected, as its existence went undetected for much longer than for its Philadelphia cousin. Both varieties are the result of dual-hub errors, likely produced towards the end of 1941 when working dies were being made of both years. It is interesting to learn, per Lange's reference, that the variety also features a repunched mintmark that is clearly visible with a loupe. This specimen offers radiant luster over silver-white surfaces lightly tinged with pinkish-gold and ice-blue. Not merely the crucial central bands, but all bands on the fasces are fully struck. Population: 16 in 65 Full Bands, 13 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N4719)
