danbogdan777 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 10:13 am Good day, I would like to know the opinion of those specialized in "Grading Coins" in this Forum, if this 1916-D Mercury dime could be placed in the "Extra-Fine" (XF) Grade, despite being a bit "chewed-up" ... or, Very-Fine" (maybe)? ... What do you think? Please advise, Thank you Edited by danbogdan777 08/02/2018 10:15 am Report this Post to the Staff

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7641 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 10:38 am Welcome to the Community! No chance it would straight grade XF (or any other grade) by any of the major grading services. There is way too much damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 10:46 am Wow! If it is a real coin... this is one of the most HIGHLY faked counterfeits produced. No, as WS said, won't straight grade, would receive a "details" grade of possibly VF if not body-bagged as ungradeable. TPGs would at least prove authenticity if nothing else. Where'd you get it an for how much. If less than $100, it's probably a known fake. That's THE key date for the series, only one I lack. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 1:40 pm 0% chance it will grade as a genuine XF '16-D. Less than a 1% chance it would grade as a genuine 1916-D Mercury dime. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 2:29 pm This ebay seller has no other coins for sale and has never sold a coin based on sold listings so I'm inclined to think they have no idea that it's a fake. The listing should still be nuked however... Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21653 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 3:24 pm Definately counterfeit. Looks like someone has beat up on it to hide any markers. Hope you didn't buy it. Report this Post to the Staff
