<p>[QUOTE="Agilmore01, post: 1662544, member: 45687"]I went to a coin show last year with my 5 year old son and a deal was impressed to see a young kid there. He opened up a treasure box with a bunch of loose wheat pennies, buffalo nickels, a barber dime and some Mercs. He told us to pick 4. I had my son pick the silver of course. The Barber dime was a well worn, damaged 1898 P and the Merc was a 1916 with a pretty much slick back. About 6 months later I decided to inspect the Merc a little closer. When I hold the reverse in a little dimmer light and not a direct bright light, it looks like a possible D on the back. It's in the right shape and location. I took it to a dealer and he.put it under a microscope with bright light and he said he didn't see it. I told him how to look at it with just the light from the window, but he wouldn't. What are your thoughts? That dealer said I could possibly submit it to TPG for certification ( not grading since its damaged) and see what they say. Your thoughts???[ATTACH]245565.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]245566.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]245567.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
