Description
Impressive 1942/1 Mercury Dime, MS65
1942/1 10C MS65 PCGS. FS-101 formerly FS-010.7, R.5. Long acknowledged as a key date in the Mercury dime series and one of the most dramatic overdates in U.S. coinage, the 1942/1 Mercury dime resulted from a hubbing error. In addition to the juxtaposition of the final digits, the 4 is also strongly doubled on this issue. In Treasure Hunting Mercury Dimes, John Wexler and Kevin Flynn comment "First discovered in 1943, this is one of the most obvious overdates in any series and is extremely sought after and collected."The present coin is a magnificent example of this popular overdate. The surfaces are enhanced by rich, satiny mint luster, and a sharp strike imparts crisp detail to all design elements. NGC has graded six coins in MS65, with six finer, while PCGS has certified only seven coins at the Gem level, with one finer (3/09).
