nod2003 Pillar of the Community United States 3294 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 8:24 pm Is this 1916D real? If so, I am looking for what grade it is, and if not, what makes you think it is fake? Report this Post to the Staff

Ca Dreamin Valued Member United States 149 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 9:38 pm hard to tell by the pics, but I believe it is-it would be difficult to add a mint mark to a coin that worn, and not be able to tell. As far as grade, off the top of my head ,AG. Report this Post to the Staff

As far as grade, off the top of my head ,AG. Exactly what I was thinking. However, the AG is rather high. Lots of beat up appearance but on a coin that rare and popular, not a big thing.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 9:57 pm I agree. The worn, blobby MM, is consistent with the level of wear an is in the correct location. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 10:16 pm Looks real to me, but there are a ton of good fakes out there. It's very close to G-4 as far as TPG grading is concerned, but I'd call it an AG-3. No way would it grade anything less. Report this Post to the Staff
x78089 Valued Member United States 255 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 10:20 pm MM looks good to me. AG-3 most definitely. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/05/2011 11:33 pm with grade! But picture just don't agree with me for the MM. Report this Post to the Staff
Pinenut Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 01/06/2011 01:31 am I do not think that the MM is real. It's too close to the olive branch. There are only four MM placements for that year. http://www.stellacoinnews.com/index...ch-6-1916-d/ Report this Post to the Staff
Pinenut Valued Member United States 462 Posts	Posted 01/06/2011 01:33 am Hmmm. I guess if Die 1 got really squished it might be consistent... Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 01/06/2011 10:45 am The filled d makes it really tough to tell because the best way to know is the shape of the inside of the mintmark Report this Post to the Staff
numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 6:17 pm Is it in a 2x2? Sometimes con artists glue obverse and reverse halves of 2 different coins together to create a valuable coin. They hope the mark won't take it out of the 2x2 to check. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 7:15 pm Nod, it looks good to me. AG-3 seems most likely to me. $650 coin! Nice! Report this Post to the Staff
soccerdad Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 01/07/2011 7:19 pm It is a AG-3 for sure. Where did you get it. Trade for 1877 IHC? I didn't think so. Report this Post to the Staff
coppertop5150 Pillar of the Community United States 958 Posts	Posted 01/08/2011 04:44 am i was thinking the same things con artist can remove a coin from a TPG slab or 2x2 and slip in a filed down glued together coin. or take a mint mark from a coin and place it on another. In this case a well worn D mark from another mercury cut out and transfered onto this one. Glue will get eaten away with acetone , but a MM placed on with J/B weld or a industral metal to metal adheisive would not come off so eazy Happens alot with Buffalo nickles I read S marks being applied on scare dates Report this Post to the Staff
