Earle42 I take my hat off to you. Stunning computer skills also.
I enclose 2 more date pics that should hopefully reveal the coins true identity. The question is, it worth 3 dollars or 200...... ;-)
I used a flashlight so may have some odd shadows.

Yep - everything adds up!

The top of that 8 is just too obvious!

Well we know it's not a 1915. And for sure not a 1946. I guess that leaves the 1918 as best guess.

1918 based on the better images.

This is from my "diagnostics" folder on Mercury dimes.

Thanking everyone for teaching me and saving me a lot of money and disappointment. Nss-52 fantastic work on the images.

I think this site is where the nicest people on the internet roam.

Btw is it totally normal to want a genuine 1916-D now?
