The reverse MM of the 1916D pictured looks an AWFUL lot like an S to me...

Opinions?

Unless he's got something mixed up there, that is definitely an "S" on the reverse of the first coin. And if you look at the authentication certificate from ANACS, it's not of the same 1916 shown in the album or the other pics.

S for sure
If it is a D, it's sure an odd looking one.

I wrote the seller. Lets see what happens. Maybe the coin he pulled was the wrong one to photograph.

Hello, Your reverse image for the first coin appears to have a mintmark S.
The coin is a 1916 dated coin. Did you show the wrong coin or are you
unaware that you may have them mixed up?
Please clarify, you would do
better for the auction if you had it showing the reverse of a 1916 D.
Thanks

I had written him to inquiring....instead of answering my concern, he is steering me towards another merc lot that he will be putting up for auction...lol

I have another set just like this one where the D is much clearer. I will be listing it some time this weekend. I will give you an advance peek if you send me your email address. I can't attach pics through this service.

huh?

I'm claiming it's a real 1916 D and posting pics of an old ANACS cert but I'm really selling a 1916s. Check back next week, I'll have another one that looks more like a real D.

huh?

I think the seller meant to show the 16-S, and then to show to 16-D. Look at the other pics and there is definitely a 16-D.

I would think the "16D" is the most important coin in this sale and the selller would get that one coin right Good pic of Obv. & Rev. something just isn't right NO RETURN and the bid seams low for only a few hours left.

Just got this reply

Dear wheezydog,

The collection includes an authentic 1916-D. I
realized that the picture
was wrong but I am having
trouble revising the listing this close to
auction
close. I will try again. Thanks for the heads up.

-lairdline


No offer to send me an image of the 1916 D tho. There is an ANACS photograde card in the listing with an image of a 1916 D that is not graded but in the first group of photos of the three 1916 dimes in the listing, none resemble the photo on the card. The one on the card has a lot more rim wear than any of the others.

Did he realize he posted a picture of the wrong ANACS cert? Or the reverse of the wrong 1916 coin? Or the wrong album of coins? Oh, wait, he got that one right...cuz it has writing in the album.

Speaking of that, who here writes in their album?

This seller doesn't normally sell coins. He admits to not knowing much about them.
