Agree, better pics around mintmark would help.
Hard to tell currently, but if real die pari could be reverse #3(aka 1916-D D/D WRPM-001)

If this is a counterfeit - I am forced to wonder why they would make one in such terrible condition.

You can listen to all the bull - but: Authentication: Due to high counterfeiting rates, the CoinWeek Grading Guide and PCGS CoinFacts state that professional certification is essential.

If this were my coin I would send it to ANACS for authentication.
In an ANACS AG03 slab this is a ~$1000 coin and worthy of the minimal submittal fees.

I would feel better if it were authenticated.

 The way it looks, it could be a S tooled around the edge to make it appear as a D. 1916 D even in low AG grade is at $500-600 or higher. As suggested, best to get it authenticated. |

Thanks to all who posted a reply. I really value the opinions. I will send it in to get it certified. I also have a 1942/41 and a 42/41 D that I may send with it. Thanks again.

PCGS CoinFacts state that professional certification is essential.  ... A few days ago, I read an article about a 1901-S quarter in the journal of the Liberty Seated Collectors' Club. The quarter was certified genuine by PCGS. The article's author proved the coin to be a fake. While certification sells, but it isn't necessarily the end-all. Having owned a dozen or so, my guess is this '16-D is genuine. An expert's guess could "prove" me right or wrong! Good luck! @grr601: A final thought ... Take the trio of Mercuries to a major show, and solicit some "coins-in-hand" dealer opinions, prior to submission. Edited by ExoGuy

I am planning to go to a coin show on May 3 that will have an ANACS rep there. It is a good suggestion to have some dealers look at them also. I will do that. Thank you/

I agree that it needs to be graded. Saying that, I compared it to my 16D and it looks authenic.

Sorry to disagree with everyone but the D doesn't look tilted enough in relation to the E of ONE. Perhaps it is just the way the pic is showing it. Please keep us updated.
