<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 6447882, member: 105098&quot;]i think the mintmark has been flattened from wear at the very least if not other contact damage.&nbsp; it could be an RPM that&#039;s merged at this point even, I can&#039;t rule it out. I don&#039;t think a picture solves the problem no matter how many there are, but figuring out the rotation, and then what die pair it should be and then the placement of the mintmark, quite possibly either puts it in the &quot;most likely genuine&quot; and really worth the gamble to send for authentication, or clearly &quot;Fake&quot;, and not worth spending the money to have it confirmed further as fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dies don&#039;t lie, they make the same thing over and over. The only reason it&#039;s as hard as it is is because Dimes are small and the more wear they have, the harder it becomes. I think it&#039;s easy to detect the fake Mint State 1916-Ds. I haven&#039;t had to go to the rotation or mintmark placement step, the D is usually just really wrong, or too big, or different color and stands out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
