A few days ago, I read an article about a 1901-S quarter in the journal of the Liberty Seated Collectors' Club. The quarter was certified genuine by PCGS. The article's author proved the coin to be a fake. While certification sells, but it isn't necessarily the end-all. Having owned a dozen or so, my guess is this '16-D is genuine. An expert's guess could "prove" me right or wrong! Good luck! @grr601: A final thought ... Take the trio of Mercuries to a major show, and solicit some "coins-in-hand" dealer opinions, prior to submission. Edited by ExoGuy 04/16/2026 12:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

grr601 Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 04/17/2026 5:32 pm I am planning to go to a coin show on May 3 that will have an ANACS rep there. It is a good suggestion to have some dealers look at them also. I will do that. Thank you/ Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 04/17/2026 9:15 pm Sorry to disagree with everyone but the D doesn't look tilted enough in relation to the E of ONE. Perhaps it is just the way the pic is showing it. Please keep us updated. Report this Post to the Staff
