      General Notes: Like its Philadelphia-minted counterpart, the 1942/1-D Mercury dime is a widely recognized and collected variety that has drawn attention from numismatists since its earliest days. Part of the allure behind this overdate is the fact that the 1942/1 overpunch is clearly visible to the naked eye. While not necessarily a rare coin, the 1942/1-D Mercury dime is scarce enough and enjoys a high enough demand that better-graded examples bring huge premiums. <BR><BR> In uncirculated grades, the 1942/1-D is a true rarity, with only a handful of survivors. However, many of those exhibit Full Bands details and are quite pleasing to the eye. As with any scarce coin, be wary of altered dates and counterfeits.
