Best Answer

This famous error occurred when a diemaker re-used a leftover 1941 die and added a "2" over the "1".

Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter. It may be blank or there may be a D

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2010:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $486

Moderately worn - $552

Slightly worn - $600

Almost no wear - $1,188

Uncirculated - $2,280 to $20,310 depending on quality

"D" mint mark (Denver):

Very worn condition - $498

Moderately worn - $570

Slightly worn - $620

Almost no wear - $1,374

Uncirculated - $2,430 to $11,060

1900 would make it a Barber dime, not a Mercury dime (the Mercury design wasn't introduced until 1916). The value depends on condition and mint. It's worth at least $3.00 for a worn Philadelphia specimen, and over $100 for a better New Orleans.


What is the difference between a 1942d mercury dime and a 1942d 42 over 41 mercury dime?

What does the overstamp look like for a 1942 mercury dime?

The overstamp looks like there is a 1 in front of the 2 in "1942" and is quite noticeable.However, there is a variety of the 1942-D Mercury dime that is a 2 over 1 also which is less noticeable, for this the best indicator is to look at the "4" it will have what looks like a second tail under it and the "2" will look to have dot right under the far left base.

What is a 1943 mercury dime gold plated worth?

Numismatically, the 1943 Mercury Dime is fairly common, and sio would need to be in one of the higher uncirculated grades to be worth much over its "melt value" - plated (even with gold), it will never be worth more than the value of its silver. With silver at $30 per troy ounce (as of February 2011), it is worth about US$2.15.
