Question
I have a 1941 dime that appears to have got stuck in the machine and in 1944 when they changed the machine into making pennies it became dislodged. So it appears I have a mule of a 1941 dime and 1944 pennie.  Can you tell me of it's rarity?

Answer
Hello Jenx,                       

I need a little more information to help evaluate your coin.
This coin must be seen by an expert. Are both sides on your coin heads?
Is it Copper colored or Silver colored?
Error coins are not my specialty.

If you write back with the general location (nearest large cities) and some Postal Zip codes I can direct you to an AMERICAN NUMISMATIC ASSOCIATION MEMBER/DEALER near there. They are ethical and trustworthy.

Thank You and Good Luck
