<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coop, post: 918325, member: 17656&quot;]The bad thing about a coin that is in high demand are the fake copies sold from the big &quot;C&quot;. Here is an image of one of these fakes.</p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1916-D_Dime_Counterfit_China_compared_to_real.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I do not own the fake one, just the 1916 plain in the image. The 1916 dimes had the strongest/highest devices on them. When you have a BU coin to compare to the other years you will see what I mean. More detail pops out at you.</p><p>(Note my coin, but posting it anyway._</p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1916D-Mercury-dime.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Here is a side by side comparison to show the difference in strength of detail of the 1916 with a 1930-S Dime.</p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1916_1930S_obv_dime_hair_01.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1916_1930S_obv_dime_hair_02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1916_1930S_obv_dime_profile.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://imgs.inkfrog.com/pix/coop49/1916_1930S_rev_dime.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Although being a Cent enthusiast, my first love was the Mercury Dimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
