Those are both great!

 

maybe the photo at an angle but Pcgs grade it @ F-12 3 years ago. I will get a photo of it next trip to the bank box Eb

 

1938-S Mercury RPD &RPM mark & motto but toned

 

Pcgs ms66fb

 

Only thing I see different in the grade + grade of photography???
As the mint mark is were it should be. plus I don't know how a counterfeit 1916-D would be under an old cotton mill home 10-15 year before China started dumping counterfeit in to the market.

****but I not arguing the point

 

People have been adding mintmarks to genuine coins for 60+ years now.

 

ff-topic:@ 61yr old I seen 100-200 fakes key dates in my days but I do Not Argue about anything on line.but Omega was the best his or her no one found out who all the TPG.until someone counted up mint # and dug deeper,that when Omega vanished hex he/she had b$2)&s sign there counterfeits but no one knew

****I will be going to the bank some time this week and I will take my camera as Pcgs has grade it a F-12+ I will post the graded coin

 

Haha, Jello, I'm not trying to argue, I'm just saying, people have been adding mintmarks to coins long before high-quality counterfeits were being produced. I believe you when you say it's in a PCGS slab.

 

1940-S
It's toned but I still can't figure out how to get a good picture of the toning.

 

Diffused light, man.

 

Jello - I hope you had the coin certified by PCGS - and if so - have them buy it back from you at fair market value.
I know there are two Rev dies on the 16-D - but the position of the MM is virtually the same on both. Your son's find
although a very special find - is not genuine - as its the most highly counterfeited US coin in existance - and as mentioned
... long before Chinese fakes started hitting the market.

 

I'm looking at the pic of that coin, it doesn't look like an F12 either, nowhere near. Jello, I think you may have mixed up your photos.

 

I was thinking the same thing - and I thought he had enough bad news for one day - { Jello - maybe you did mix up your REV images ? }

 

I don't know if it was DM1 or jello that posted the reverse picture of the 1916-D. However, here is a previous CT thread that describes the mint mark placement on genuine 1916-D dimes:

Still the same coin but this time with the diffused lighting
