1916 D Merc Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 06/22/2015 3:28 pm I see the C, but it cannot be. As the 1874 dimes have the CC mint mark below the bow. So either it is an S or Philly Edited by 1916 D Merc 06/22/2015 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Gyrene7483 Pillar of the Community United States 1704 Posts	Posted 06/22/2015 6:28 pm From 1860-91 the mint mark is located below the bow except for 1875 which has above and below the bow varieties for Carson City and San Francisco. This information is in the Red Book. If you do not have a copy get one. I do not understand why so many younger collectors do not own one. It should be your first numismatic purchase after you buy your first coin it will tell you a lot about the coin you just acquired and much more. Report this Post to the Staff
