...well as forrest said..."stupid is as stupid does..." n watching the trends in our elected officials the past few decades its just a matter of time before intelligence levels get below pond scum n some marooney will think its a good idea to revisit all assets for govt reconsiderations... what they dont know wont hurt them nor the rest of the numismatic community....

Based on the photo, this coin does appear to be a 1942-D, 2 over 1, "Mercury" dime, but I would also appreciate seeing photos of each full side of the coin. 
   Both the 1942, 2 over 1 variety and the less obvious 1942-D, 2 over 1 variety were presumably created accidentally at the Philadelphia mint late in 1941 when dies for both years were being prepared, and obverse dies that had received blows from a 1941 dated hub then received blows from a 1942 dated hub.  The "4" on the 1942 dated hub was had a slightly different shape with a longer upright and appears doubled on both coins. These varieties have been classified as doubled dies as well as overdates, although a doubled die typically results from blows to create a die by the same hub in different positions.

Thank you to everyone for providing me the CAC info. Good to know.
My apologies to the OP for the additional chatter I created on his post. I felt it relevant however to make that part clear to all.
As far as it goes @Roy Winters, it doesn't matter the why you want to submit what you want to submit. It is your $$. Just as it is anyone else. I have submitted many things others would say I just wasted my money on, but it is my money and I can burn it if I want to although I would never do that because I need it for more coins. LOL! The thing about this hobby is we are all free to collect what we want to and do whatever we want with the coins we have collected. Have at it is my opinion!

...besides the legit aspect, would u actually want anyone to even know bout it n that u had it...n would u trust our govt to not try n find a way to take it away from u, their track record is very tarnished...there r several coins out there that r not reflected in any archives, books or commentaries n will most likely remain that way...i have seen a couple that r not supposed to exist n respect the owners desires....

...yep did some last week n more to do....

...yep did some last week n more to do....

CAC is still beaning coins.

I am not going to comment on whether this a "rarity". If you are its owner, I cannot fathom why you would acquire it without knowing the simplest of basics about it: rarity and price. 
Moving right along, I fail to see what basis you have for challenging, not the opinion of some self-described grading czar, of which we are never in short supply, but a recognized TPGS that has been around for decades. Somewhere, buried deep within this year's topics and posts, was a bit of trivia which may be relevant. If I am not mistaken, the member stated no circulated Proof has been certified, in substance, below the AU range (which dwells within the 50's).  This is not to say no such Proofs exist. It merely suggests in decades of TPGS operations, none has been so certified. Malheureusement, if you feel your coin qualifies for such distinction, it would probably have to be exhumed from its slab to aid the examiner, amateur or pro, in making that determination via an in-hand inspection. I have no doubt that the OP, whose forte among many others, is three-cent nickels, may be interested to learn what in particular gave rise to your query.

I don't know if they were ever Red Hot, or not, but all this roll-hoarding is too time-consuming and I do not see the cost- effectiveness of maintaini g a fleet of fork-lifts.
Have any of you medieval hoarders ever considered 100 or 1000 troy ounce bars?  Why drown in tons of tons of metal when you can consolidate your holdings? You've all been around long enough to know had you acquired a kilo-sized bar of gold with a universally recognized hallmark, you could have easily doubled and tripled your investments. I fail to see the purpose of stockpiling silver rolls, much less clads.  They're in paper rolls?  What do you guys do, pile up mountains of rolls and contemplate the words NICKELS, DIMES and QUARTERS ON THEM?  A BU ROLL OF '64 KENNEDYs MAKES SENSE.  All this newfangled stuff makes no sense at all.  I have mentally carved out exceptions for roll-hunting Newbies. What I want to know is what is the big attraction of paper rolls in cardboard boxes and wheel barrows of coins? What is that, the illusion of wealth?  Time is money!
To the OP:  Sorry.  A '95-W I can wrap my mind around. The moral there is get in, make a killing, and get out.  All this loose change stuff hearkens to one's youth. What I want to know is why all you guys, many with considerable means, haven't outgrown this? There's no way anyone can convince me coins that aren't "real" (minted with non-precious metal, new or not) are worth anything.  Nothing I have said here should offend anyone.  If it doesn't apply, let it fly.   🐓 

For decades, my most frequent source of solid BU rolls were freshly opened rolls in my family’s retail store. Now I buy them at auctions from other collectors. Yes, I also do occasionally buy solid rolls from the U.S. Mint (half dollars and dollars mostly). The Gadsden/ Rainbow City club is a VERY auction intensive club, and more than a few dealers at their recent show offered rolls in multiple denominations and dates. Bottom line: BU rolls are available, in quantities that satisfy the level of demand quite well. If @cladking is seeing a demand/supply mismatch, I suggest it is a local phenomenon. 

Welcome to the forum, in the future inquires like this are better posted in the US coin or Newbie sections of the forum, this area is for questions that revolve around the registry.   Plus more forum members are likely to see your posts in those two sections than here.
As I do not see any obvious scraping or filling marks this is Most likely due to a grease filled die.   At times areas of the die will be clogged with grease or other debris which doesn't allow for metal to flow into that spot of the die during the striking of the coin.  It's very common on modern coinage which makes sense given the massive quantities of coins that are struck for circulation today.   This is a bit less common for coinage of the 1800's, but not unheard of.
 

...if u owned this coin today, would u publicize ur ownership?...think bout it....

...we definitely need a broader variety of emojis on this forum....

...ur welcome....

Very compelling piece.

🐓:  There's that old familiar refrain... "... time will tell..."  and "... all in time..."  I'm beginning to think this guy knows something we don't...
Q.A.:  Anything's possible, but we gotta get back to work.
🐓 : Work?  What's with the four-letter words... Doing what?? 
Q.A.:  Doing what we do best, Ricky.  Broadening the body of knowledge.
🐓 :  "Peki. Peki." (Alright. Alright, in Turkiye) "Map vini!" (I'm coming!) pronounced MOP vin-NY, in Karibbean Krayol).
Re CACG... I think it may be too early yet to move beyond conjecture.
@MarkFeld :  If memory serves, you had conceded having a longstanding friendship with J.A.  If you are within the sound of my voice, I believe your intimate insider knowledge of the subject matter under discussion would be most welcomed and well received on this Forum.

I assume that by "U.S. dollars" it is meant any U.S. gold coin, presumably double eagles. It would be interesting to know what U.S. gold was exchanged, type and date, but it's highly unlikely such information was recorded.  
 

I would also assume double eagles as gold dollars would be a feat in itself. Here’s a bit more from the Melbourne records:
In 1925 large shipments of gold from America arrived and the Melbourne Mint was authorised to pay for imported gold in sovereigns. 

Q.A.:  Deflection?  Not at all!  Here's deflection:  "Look it up." Sound familiar?
🐓:  Have a heart, Q!  Make an exception. (That sad face is really beginning to get to me.)
Q.A.:  Oh, alright... Under the Presidential Succession Act of 1792, the Senate president pro tempore [D.R.A.] immediately followed the vice president in the line of presidential succession. 
President James Polk's term formally ended on March 4, 1849, at noon, and Zachary Taylor was not sworn in until noon on March 5th.  (In observance of the Christian Sabbath, Taylor preferred not to conduct his inauguration on Sunday, March 4th)
David Rice Atchison, president pro tempore of the Senate lawfully and legally filled that void and technically became President of the United States for one day. (He only found out about it when he was awakened from his sleep by a supporter seeking a patronage job from him.)
My apologies to the OP for intentionally hijacking his thread.  🤣

Excellent find by the way!

A total of American gold dollars weighing 58,979.94 ounces were melted in Melbourne during 1925. Possibly all from the transfer mentioned above. The Melbourne Mint archives should have additional information on this melting. This amount was recorded in the Royal Mint reports and the information was provided to the Royal Mint by the the Superintendent of the Melbourne Mint.

Australian sovereigns were sought after because of their more yellowish hue given off from the alloy of silver vice the British copper. This pretty much ended in 1868/1869, however when the Royal Mint mandated that all sovereigns no matter where they were minted conform to British standards - thus copper alloy. The mints did experiment in some later years with using silver and copper as alloys, but this was short lived. You can find Australian sovereigns having silver as well as sovereigns having copper as an alloy dated 1868. It is believed that those minted with the copper alloy were actually minted in 1869, but dated 1868 as there are no Sydney sovereigns dated 1869.

I did snag a piece from Dan at Colorado Springs last month.
