The key date coin of the Mercury dime series is the 1916 D with a mintage of 264,000. This is the coin that is always in great demand no matter the grade or condition, someone will want it. This is were you have to be careful. Mintmarks can be added, coins can altered or made. If you have one that is not graded buy a top tier grading company, you need to get it checked out. In David Lange's book "The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes" there are the pictures of the four die varieties that will help you identify if your 1916 D is the real deal. Before you send your coin to a grading service, have someone, a trustworthy dealer or numismatist, who can help authenicate it and save yourself the expense of paying a grading service $100+ to look at it. They will get a fee no matter what the outcome and remember it is just their opinion about the coin. The more you learn about your hobby the more valuable your opinion.
