goobot Valued Member United States 89 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 8:50 pm Alright, the reason it looks so to me is because it looks like it has that tail on the top left? Am I only imagining this? Report this Post to the Staff
RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 9:04 pm I had a topic up for a possible 1916-D Mercury dime, I sent the coin into ANACS, only way to know. Maybe go to that topic and see what you think of the photo of the mintmark. It shows more of the MM than your photo but it still is up in the air. https://goccf.com/t/187541 Report this Post to the Staff

Any mint mark (this is a Philadelphia coin) will be as bold as the lower leaf it's next to - a mint mark on this coin would be obvious, and one isn't there. Not that I wouldn't be wishing for a D if I were you. Report this Post to the Staff
Necer149 Valued Member United States 457 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 9:35 pm Usually mint marks in these Mercury dimes don't get worn down as much as the rim does, so this is most likely just a 16 P. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 10/08/2014 9:39 pm Yeah, they'll wear some but at least half of the mint mark should be farther from the rim than (for instance) the easily-noted center crossbar of the E. Report this Post to the Staff
