Mike1487 Pillar of the Community United States 709 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 1:31 pm Tough one..I see the distracting dark vertical scratch. I do see a "D" looking thing directly southeast of that dark scratch, but genuine 1916-D's I've seen have the mintmark higher and tilted pointing more southeast. Then again the positioning isn't exact. Need a couple more pics at a lower angle instead of directly overhead. Report this Post to the Staff
clary1265 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 2:01 pm Yea, I don't see a D either. I see somewhat of a shadow maybe resembling a D but thats all. And I didn't see any kind a raised area from a side view. I will take more pics shortly and post. Report this Post to the Staff

clary1265 Valued Member United States 168 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 3:48 pm I still don't see it. I have never cleaned any coins. Think I will leave that to the more experienced. My son swears he sees it but I think he needs his eyes checked, lol. Report this Post to the Staff
