Lyle Kruse Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 9:40 pm I have this Mercury dime and it has no date. I can't tell if someone scratched it off, or if its from a mint error. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/17/2013 11:40 pm Might be a coin made by the Mint so you can add your own date. Imagine having coins with any date you want. Would be fun wouldn't it? Report this Post to the Staff

DNA Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 11/18/2013 01:24 am Yep! Mintmarks on 1916-D Dimes are so carefully scrutinized, a forger might be better off picking a Dime with a proper-looking D mintmark and then grafting on the 1916 date Report this Post to the Staff
arsave Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 12/16/2013 07:20 am The 1916 and 1917 Mercury dimes are high relief. This one is not, so it is later than 1918. I agree with the scratched off date. Report this Post to the Staff
