<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 5370848, member: 92655"]Could it be possible that the grime lends an appearance of being shadowed/carved out? The grime around the mint mark appears consistent with the grime on the other devices. I have two and a half 1916-D dimes. One is slabbed and resides in my safe deposit box. The second is an extremely well executed counterfeit that resides in my book... And the half is a very, very worn 1916-something dime. The rims are worn in but you can see the top of the mintmark. I posted a thread here and the consensus was the mark was a “D”. I did send it in and PCGS wouldn’t certify it....... My whole point is that PCGS is extremely conservative with a coin like this. Do you really think they would miss a carved out mintmark?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
