I have six dimes here and I'm trying to figure out which one should I use for my type set. All these dimes come out of a five dollar bin at a local coin shop.   Thanks for your input.

In my opinion the 1916 looks the best of the group.

Here is the 1916 and the 1906 side by side   The 1916 has a couple scratches on the face and the 1906 has a couple rim bruises. It is really close both will go XF.

I thought the 1906 at first, but after your second pics the 1916.

1916 looks much better to me. Seems to have a lot less hairlines than the 1906
