<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lincoln, post: 913790, member: 24970&quot;]I am a recent new member and have read quite a few posts and am enjoying what you all are saying.</p><p>I have been a collector for 50 years and have managed to amass very little in terms of monetary value, but I have had a good time and enjoy looking at my stuff. </p><p>My wife&#039;s brother had a box of coins, which he had collected as a child, in his parents&#039; house. They moved out, my wife called her brother and he said I could have the coin box. Lots of common foreign coins, a few decent Lincolns, one excellent Flying Eagle, and a Mercury dime folder. Upon opening the Merc folder I noticed but one dime inserted in the first page, the 1916-D. This struck me as a bit odd, since the other keys (1921 and 1921-D) were absent. After scrutinizing the 16-D for a while, I thought to myself something was not quite right with this coin. I took it to a local dealer and he concurred. I will post a picture if anyone wants to see what a fake 16-D looks like (if I can figure out how to get a good, reasonably sized .jpeg).</p><p>Since it cost me nothing it&#039;s no big deal; I wish it were authentic, but then again, I enjoy knowing my brother-in-law got taken (he is a weasel).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
