Hey folks

Steer clear of this fake 16-D on ebay.

The seller has 0 feedback and it is an obvious fake.

Agree, both his listings are unquestionably counterfeit.

Is the mint mark all wrong? Just trying to learn how to identify the fake.

If I recall, the mint mark on a proper '16 D dime isn't 'horizontal', rather, it's rotated a bit clockwise, with the appearance that it's more in alignment with the arc of the coin's rim.

Can't believe 13 different people would be bidding on that.

It would be good to take screenshots of these items and post them here so that members who join late into the conversation can see the coin being discussed before it's taken down.

Good for future reference. Otherwise this thread is entirely useless once the ad is pulled.
