Lot 570
1942-D, 2 over 1. NGC graded MS-66 Full Bands. Well struck and untoned with glorious satin silver with little more than a hint of gold starting to form. The central devices are bold, as well as the peripheral legends. This is a sought after overdate which is seldom found in grades approaching gem, as most of the known examples are well circulated. This die blunder was created when a new die was made using the master hub from 1941, then that master hub was replaced with a 1942 hub. Remarkably a matching blunder was used to create a Philadelphia obverse die with a matching overdate. The 4 in the date is also sharply doubled from the blundered hub change midway through making these new obverse dies. Outstanding surfaces for this issue, with satin smooth frost on Liberty's face and neck, and the surrounding fields as well. Incredible quality in fact, particularly so for this prized Denver issue. Don't miss out! A popular Red Book variety. Pop 4; 3 finer, 2 in 67, 1 in 67+. Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000
