1942/1 Mercury Dime (10c)

The 1942/1 Mercury Dime is a fascinating variety known for its bold overdate error clearly visible without magnification. Minted during a time of coinage production efficiency, the Philadelphia Mint produced these coins when the date from the 1941 die was mistakenly repunched with a 1942 date, creating the distinct overdate feature.

This coin is graded VF30 by CACG, attesting to its superior quality for the grade. Its surfaces have honest wear, displaying a consistent light-gray patina that enhances its detail. The overdate remains clearly visible, adding historical interest to the coin. Its eye appeal and smooth surfaces make this a standout addition for any Mercury Dime enthusiast.
