I googled it but didn't really get any solid answers. Ever since I found this time and noticed it I've checked every single fine I've touched since then and have yet to another with a d. It located at the bottom of the torch on the left side.

Not seeing it. It's Pareidolia. It's still a keeper, since your coin is 90% silver.

No it's not Pareidolia... It's at the bottom left side of the torch on the reverse side

It's a typical Denver Mint Mark placement on silver dimes.

Yes, it looks to be a very legit Denver mint mark placement.

Up to 1964, the mint mark was on the reverse.
In 1965 it was moved to the obverse.
Yours is a normal 1963 dime.

My bad. It's normal for the mint mark to be there near the torch on the reverse. I misunderstood the question. Should have read the description more carefully.

Right! Philadelphia Mint strikes have no mintmarks - Denver Mint marks are "D". Try asking CCF instead of AI Google!

In 1968 it was moved to the obverse. There were no mint marks on US coins 1965-1967.

I kind of figured it was normal and not an error I just couldn't figure out why I didn't see it on any other dimes but then again all the other dimes I checked where more recent ones. Oh and Errers... My friends say I speak in rifles and have a strange way of talking so it's very likely I worded it in a confusing way.
