Is this a 1916-D Mercury ?

I was looking at this item on EBay and I wanted to take a chance that what I was looking at was a 1916-D dime. However, I didn't win the bid and probably just as well, because the guy has numerious other coins up for sell with high prices, so I figure if he has evaluated all the coins listed he surely knows if he has a 1916-D. The image could be a D or S ???

Well, if it's a 'D' someone made one devil of a purchase. Frankly, I think it's an 'S' but it's hard to say given the pics.......

 

It looks like an S to me.

 

Doesn't look like the exact correct shape of a D, I'm leaning towards S...

 

You guys sure know how to make a person feel better. :>)

 

At this enlargement, it looks more like an S than a D

 

Good to see you Collector1966. We missed ya........

 

Thanks, Green! I got kind of burned out for a while, for a variety of reasons, and didn't feel like posting much of anything. But I am glad that I finally feel like being an active member of the site again, and I really appreciate your kind words!
