Vfox Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I found this one in change a few months ago, and didn't think much of it, in fact I never even noticed the trace of a mint mark on it, the other day I was showing a friend some coins, and out of the stuff he was looking at he pulled out a 1927-S SLQ in Vg and this 1916 dime. The quarter was a heck of a thing for me to overlook, but if this dime is a D, it will blow that out of the water lol. I took some different shots, please let me know what you guys think? Thanks!

LostDutchman Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 from my experience it's an S for some reason on the AG 16D's the D still seems to be mostly readable. while the S's are hard to see.... just experience... can't tell %100 from the pics...

Scottishmoney Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 By the shape of the mm I am believing it is an S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan769 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 By the shape of the mm I am believing it is an S. Yep, I see the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggAndyy Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am afraid that is an "S". But what a heart attack when you pulled that from change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I am afraid that is an "S". But what a heart attack when you pulled that from change! Haha, yeah I had to take a big breath when I saw the date, heck even though it doesn't really appear to be a D, pulling something 91 years old out of circ is A-Okay in my book! Thanks for everyones input, I think I may have to agree (as much as I hate to lol) that it most likely is an S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 If you don't want it, I'll be happy to give it a warm home. If it turns out to be a D, I'll invite you to its slabbing party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 For sure, without a doubt it is an S. Note the curve of the top of the Mint Mark. If it was a D there would have been a slight hook at the upper left of the MM. Aside from that. Take a good look at the fourth photo you submitted. On several of the old Star Trek type programs there was these goofy aleins called Forengy or something like that. If you ever saw that program, then look at that 4th photo. Note the large ear at the far right. Now there are 2 eyes to the left of that and a nose just below that. Now under the nose is one large upward tooth. So the question is who or what was behind you when you took those photos???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommyd Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 They're all right -- it's definitely an 'S' -- but wasn't the fantasy fun??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
