Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 08/05/2024 8:45 pm @cf, looks to me like the OP is seeking a dime dated 1916, so this is just one year later. Pretty heavy wear on this one @ali, but I agree that the date is still clearly visible.

Bosstone100 Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 08/14/2024 10:32 pm I have what I think may be a well worn 1916 D merc dime. Under a microscope, it looks like there's a little "wedge" or serif, that looks exactly like the D mint mark. It couple also damage. What's the max magnification a grading company will use to verify a coin? Report this Post to the Staff
