CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 10:26 pm Type of 1916 dimes are very tricky to grade because the wear pattern on the obverse is totally different from later dates. I'd call it F12. Report this Post to the Staff

CaptainFwiffo Pillar of the Community United States 4132 Posts	Posted 02/15/2012 11:14 am I made a picture a while back from auction images to compare the wear patterns of type of 1916 dimes vs the rest of the series (both are NGC F12). I guess the obverse is closer to VG and the reverse is closer to F. Edited by CaptainFwiffo 02/15/2012 11:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 02/18/2012 9:31 pm Though there are plenty of MS+ 1916 Mercury dimes around to be had (for a price,) I tend to like ANY 1916 P-D-S with complete rims on the obv & rev. I'll skip the grading, but I like the coin! Report this Post to the Staff
