This is the first time I've been able to post an image and I hope it works. I have a few dimes and the dates are tough to read. I was hoping that some of the experienced folks could provide guidance. Thanks.

I see 1923 as the first coin, and 1921 as the second. Either way not much value besides silver weight.

You are correct, my mistake.

OP Example
Mercury-Dime-Identification,-Dates?
AG3 1921 D PCGS
Mercury-Dime-Identification,-Dates?
1926
Mercury-Dime-Identification,-Dates?

It appears to be a 21D. The bump at the base of the last number does not work for a 6 as the closing loop of the 6 is next to the worn rim.

Note the position of the 2 under the neck on OP example. On the 1926 the 6 is under the neck. For the OP example to be a 1926 the date would have to be moved over like the OP and AG3 example.

I looked at a number of 1926 D and I could not find any that have the date position necessary for the last digit to be a 6. The good news is that the 21 D has some value.

Reading down from the top I was preparing to make a comparison pic and was glad to see Slider already had

The curve on the top of the 6 in a 1926 is way out of line with the OP's coin.
