[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3699375, member: 27832"]If I ever own a 1916-D dime, it'll likely be an authenticated FR02 or AG03, and I'll be proud to have it. Your "let's pretend" about the S VDB is... oddly specific, though. I don't think it's easy for a mintmark to [I]wear[/I] into illegibility on a Lincoln cent, even at AG03 -- it's far from the rim and in a recessed area. There are weak-VDB 1909-S coins, but I've never heard of a weak-S variety. If you can only make out a bit of the S when you stare really hard, I'd worry that you're seeing a hit or other damage, and your eyes and brain are turning it into what you want to see.[/QUOTE]
