I've had this coin for years and I've looked at it many times with different magnifying glasses but it wasn't until I used the magnifying camera that attaches to my phone did I see what looks like the letter d where the mint mark is supposed to be for the 1916 dime. It's a lot smaller than any photo I've seen online so I'm hoping someone can help me and tell me if it's at all possible that this is a D mint mark. Thanks so much

Welcome to the Forum. You'll get the hang of posting pictures. Along with your closeups please include images of the full obverse and reverse as well.

I think I see what you are talking about but it is in the wrong location to be a D on a 16 D.

I see what could be a D but think it's just a sort lumpy mass or something like that. How worn is the rest of the coin?

Looks more like an O. Now just think if you found a 1916 O coin. Would be worth more than any D.
What ever it is, it's not a D.

NO. Mint marks on coins are raised above the surface. There is no Mercury dime with a mint mark in that position.
