If authentic, I'm leaning at AG. Reverse rim too worn for G4 IMO.
Who authenticated it?

A local coin dealer, I cannot currently find the guild/site that had his certification. One second.

I was also wondering, he said that all 1916-D Mercury dimes have a rotation from obverse to reverse. Is this true? |

Most coins from that era always have a slight rotation, so its not uncommon.
PCGS, NGC or ANACS will be your choices to send it in for authentication. Without better/clearer/sharper images, it will be hard for anyone to be sure either.

Yes, Sorry about the bad photos, tried to take pictures with a nikon coolpix but for some reason it would not focus well.....

I remember reading an article that, if I can recall correctly, said all came with rotated dies and each die pair usually comes rotated in a specific way. I have to see if I can find that article again. Assuming the coin is authentic and there are no problems that the photos are not showing, I am fairly confident the coin will grade AG-3. Too much wear on the reverse to grade G. I would get it graded by any one of the TPG's that macmercury has listed. It looks like you may have quite the find there! Edited by D0ubl3Eagle

I'm also considering slabbing a few of my other coins: 1921 Peace dollar VF details- cleaned (purchased at a flea market for $30) 1921 -P and D Mercury dimes, D may have been cleaned (Good)and P (Fine) Possibly also a 1921-S Morgan AU or higher grade, brown toning Should I slab these coins? (Probably going to use anacs so I don't have to buy a subscription) |

Great find! Don't spend any money slabbing the other coins though. Just get the 1916 dime to a major grading service. It is the only one worth the cost.

To get a 1916-d dime for 3 bucks, well that would be fantastic.
I hope it's real for you. Will grade AG IMO and valued at $450-$500 give or take.
