counterfeit '16D dime?
I wish some of you members would look at this dime for sale on ebay.
It's item # 200040460178 (I don't know how to provide a link!). To me, what remains of the D is too far to the left and below the leaves. Thanks in advance--Bill |

I don't see a D at all

Thanks in advance--Bill http://cgi.ebay.com/1916-D-Mercury-D...QQcmdZViewItem When I have the page loaded for which I want to provide a link, I left click once in the address bar and that highlights the contents of the address bar. Then I right click and select the copy command. Then right click here and select the paste command. With regard to the dime, I see two possibilities to cause an unsaavy seller to claim a "D" mint coin. First, as you see and say, the faint glob too far to the left. Second, a ghost of a large "D" at a bad angle and too far to the right. I think the coin is a Philadelphia product and the claim of a "D" is just wishful thinking on the seller's part. He makes some mistaken claims in some of his other auctions and I am inclined to think the seller is just clueless. Bill Krummel |

Nobody has mentioned that he graded it VG. I think is V is upside down.
Should be about AG. I see no "D" either. Maybe it's an ultra-rare 1916-D with a missing "D". Bob "bluemagic" wrote in message oups.com...

I don't see any mintmark. I read somewhere (probably on this forum)
that if a 16-D Merc appeared for sale on e-bay that it was most assuredly a scam. Kathy bluemagic wrote: I wish some of you members would look at this dime for sale on ebay.
