Description

1942/1 Mercury Dime, MS66
Only One Numerically Finer

1942/1 10C FS-101 MS66 PCGS. The Philadelphia and Denver Mint overdates of 1942 are similar to all other 20th century overdate varieties. The dies were prepared toward the end of the year and were mistakenly produced from two different date hubs. They were first hubbed with a 1941 date, and then received a second impression from a 1942-dated hub. Close examination reveals that the entire date is doubled, not just the 2 over 1. This Premium Gem is one of the finest that we have encountered. Both sides are brilliant and fully lustrous with sharp design definition and delicate gold toning. Population: 8 in 66 (3 in 66+), 1 finer (12/24).
