I'm still going through all of these coins and have found this. It looks like it is a 1916 dime but it is hard to read. Any thoughts?   Is it worth anything but a dime due to condition? |

That dime has seen better days.
Melt value $1.75ish.

I imagine even if that were a 16-D it wouldn't be worth that much in that condition. Can't really put that into an album.

You may want to find a better source for your coin collecting.

It's a 16-D. Looks like something a wife would do to her husbands coin collection during a contested divorce.  If PCGS slabbed this and called it an error, they would probably slab yours!   Edited by MOS0239

Thanks for all of your responses. I do not have a supplier/dealer. I just found about 170 coins that have been hiding for bout 54 years. :-D

@MOS0239 Keep in mind that the "Dime on a nail" did sell for $42,300. I would LOVE to find and error like that!

What the...... how did it wind up that out of shape? I mean, I've used a dime as screwdriver in a bind a time or two but shheesh.

Looks like a 16-S to me. The D mint mark is much smaller.
Whatever it is it is only worth melt value to most collectors.
As far as the dime struck on a nail goes .... somebody pulled the wool over PCGS's eyes in my opinion.

Place on hard surface and hit with a hammer. Then put on ebay as slightly damaged coin. |
