bottimurillo90 Valued Member United States 202 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 12:01 pm Hello, was wondering if someone would grade these dimes. Found lots of Mercury dimes and Barber dimes and these 1916 were the oldest of the bunch. I know they are not in very good condition but curious what your opinions would be. Thank you.

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11898 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 5:03 pm It is an AW, the initials of Adolph Weinmann, the coin's designer/engraver. Agree with the Frog, both ag3. IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
