I have a 1916D Dime and considering getting it slabbed, ANACS certified it genuine in 1980. Not sure it's worth it though.

 

Or a new guy just reading about it that hasn’t even bought a coin yet.

 

I haven’t bought my first coin yet (got a couple of bids in at an auction house), but it seems to me that if one-half of one percent submitted to a top tier grader are counterfeit, the percentage on EBay must be pretty high.
But I also think everything not slabbed looks cleaned (since I learned about that a month ago).

 

You learn fast!

 

Yeah. I ain’t paying for stickers.
I’m this way in real life. Drives the wife crazy. Lol.

 

The ANACS opinion in 1980 should be pretty credible. Of course, you may still want to slab it for other reasons. ANACS declared a 42/41 dime of mine counterfeit in the 1980's and enabled me to get a refund from the dealer I bought it from.

 

Welcome to CT.
What grade did they give it?
A 1916D Merc in an old soap box slab/anacs slab Could get a very nice premium from a Soap box collector.
What does the slab look like?

 

I don't wish to speak for the OP but I don't think ANACS was slabbing coins in 1980. I would be interested to know what type of ANACS certification the OP has, if any. (The OP's profile is missing, so they may not be around to answer )

 

Yeah I thought of that as I was typing, and why I asked for a photo of the cert/holder.
I have seen @Tallulah active the past couple of days. So hopefully.
