No, but I see a nice hibiscus bush above it. Sorry this is not a D minted dime. It sure would be nice, but.. Pareidolia is a strange thing. Collecting since 1972.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 07/08/2022 7:13 pm @ker, while there is quite a bit of circulation wear on this dime, there is still plenty of remaining detail. Therefore, if there was a mintmark, we would definitely expect to see it clearly on your coin. For sure some details might not be fully struck up, but as a general rule, the wear should be roughly the same across all design elements.

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3632 Posts	Posted 07/09/2022 11:03 am First, I see what caught your eye. What you see is circled in red on the photo below. It's too low to be a mm. The location of the mm on a 1916-D is above that, roughly where I added a crudely drawn blue box. Report this Post to the Staff
