This video caught my attention because I seen something in a coin collection I inherited a little over a year ago. It has 7 dimes dating From 1892 to 1944. I noticed that the 1940 and 1944 have the pillar like yours on the back and my 1916 does not have pillar? Your video, now gained my interest in my coin collection!
One thing to understand is that it was perfectly well known that 1916-D dimes and 32-D and 32-S quarters were known to be exceptionally low mintage when they were "new". Nobody had to wait 40 years to figure out they were super rare.
Daniel my brother, you're awesome! keep up the good work bro. And I'm glad that you got out of the security guard business. scary ain't it.? U and your family, stay healthy.✌️💙🏇🏇🏇
Wow! Interesting video Daniel! Thanks for all the info. I’ve also heard that all the 1916-D dimes have a slight reverse die rotation.. could just be a myth though. I’ve only owned 1 example in the past
There are many altered or added D mint marks. I have a real one. It is easy to tell the difference once you see a real one in your hands. Great info here!
Thanks Daniel. That's a fooler coin if I have ever seen one. Have to be diligent and be aware..too good to be true? almost every time time it is. ANACS is great to use and to verify. I like them.
I'm new to collecting coins, but is it possible to put these under some sort of UV light or other wavelength like they do for scanning CF bills, etc... and see if there's something visible around the mint mark that would indicate a counterfeit?
So even cleaned it’s worth $ - also I’m glad you mentioned Anacs at the end-as a positive company to use. Researching heavily over this past year- ( opinion only humbly) That ANACS seems to have a faster turnaround time and still be reputable enough to be accepted as one of the top 3? Am I correct with that info? As having an Auction Channel - hope that’s right way to say it.. Would you be more weary of their slab , because of an issue with a coin grading higher than the other companies or something else?
TPG? I’m not familiar with that term but the cent I’m referring to came down a collection line- which has very nice coins from Indian Heads of course the 77 wasn’t in it and all the others weigh 3+ grams- I want to get it slabbed - I’m trying to find out as much as possible and what it actually is? Do the capital A k stamped in obverse is mint lettering and its correct weight 4.6 I believe it’s a 59 with slightly longer head dress feathers are nice- it also has a weak reverse- from research I learned the composition was a much harder coin to strike- thanks for your input and I will look up the TPG - when you say 2 where did you find that info?
Is there a publication that shows all key dates and mints for constitutional silver. I'm going thru a good amount of halves, quarters, dimes that I have collected over the years.
Okay I understand now- I was under the impression that maybe the coin was real but designated as counterfeit-question- with in the collection there were 2 43 copper looking coins- however the magnet told the truth. I decided to use hot water dish soap and qtip because I actually thought it was more grime than a purposely made counterfeit- I’m sure you know what I felt when I saw it!! I don’t know how they did it- must have been a dip or something? All the of the coins are in the old school paper plastic squares. The holders are old enough for the plastic to be brittle. I also inherited approximately 9000 cents super nice 60 small over large or large over small from BR super nice to red Ms - same with 72- 68’s- 69 Ms red s ( a couple) and D Ms quality. I have the black 73 set S mint all clad Ike weighs correct for clad as do all the rest down very nice coins.
I registered on your online help forum I had a question, By the time I got signed up figuring out this old school website fighting thru ads and searches that take you to other sites I just gave up, that’s what Reddit is for I suppose
I am confuse. I use it every day and the ads might be a bit annoying, they pay for it. It cost to own and operate and keep safe and updated. If you like reddit that is fine, but this is a family owned channel and website. Small town stuff, not some big corporation or conglomerate.
I sent one off to PCGS this year as well. Nothing like the one you showed. It may by XF no cleaning, (extra dark toning) it came back. AUTHENTICITY UNVERIFIABLE. SO what does that mean? I wanted authentic or counterfeit not something in the middle. Still have no idea. Oh also to mention, I had just joined and with submitting the coin I'm $300 in the hole and here with a coin. I still have no answers for. 😡
This begs the question: What "x-ray vision" glasses do they use to identify that? I mean, if a veteran dealer like yourself gets fooled, what equipment are they using?, an electron microscope?

Daniel would u believe me if I said I almost have the same dilemma, my 16-d was graded by a reputable gr-co. I broke it out because it deserved a better grade, pcgs sent it back counterf--??? What do u do?? Hope it wasn't raining that day lol! Thank u Daniel, please don't stop educating these people
They are not counterfeit. I have 2 1942 mercury dime both have the W on the obverse side and on the reverse one has S mint mark, the other has the D mint market.
you can see around the D it is messed with. also, no doubt cleaned. the chances of finding a 1916 d in this condition is about. 1%. I guess it was worth sending to check it out. at least now you know it is fake. no more speculation.
Counterfeit $ is illegal to possess. Why did they send it back instead of sending it to the Secret Service, as its their job to keep fakes from circulating. This makes no sense bc now it can go right into the til. But I've heard several Shady stories about pcgs lately. They've been lowering their standards, giving false, too good or just horrible grades on good pieces
Don't believe what you hear, the majority of the coins PCGS grades are fine. Its also not illegal to own a counterfeit coin. I advise looking the information up from reliable sources instead of social media, hype videos and hype articles.
I have a coin collection that wanting to sell to a collector from silver dollars, half dollars, quarters,dimes, nickels, pennies, if interested let me know
@@CoinHELPu I like to think of them as a representation of fascism . And after Roosevelt died, they took Liberty off and put an actual fascist on the obverse.

0:04 That packaging is for any coin that is not put in a slab. I got one that had PVC on the surface returned like that.
Another great information video Daniel. Thanks for showing us the out come of the grading.

The position of the D appears incorrect to me when compared to the authentic photos.
I'd be interested in seeing that mint mark under your microscope. Just out of curiosity.
How can you add a mint mark like that successfully
I love you for your work you do for us thanks

Mint mark is in the wrong location. It should be a little higher next to the leaf.
Thank you Daniel!!
Thanks for the educational video.
Excellent video Daniel. Great education.

Thank you for sharing and passing along the information. Also having coins graded for authenticity. 👍🏻
You should have showed what the "D" looked like under your microscope. That would have been interesting to see.
Good stuff ! 🔥
Thanks Dan, Portsmouth is my go-to coin store .
Thank you
Good info! 👍

Very helpful video

A good coin to add to the (Fake) collection. Thank you Daniel and Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah 🌲
My question is what does one do with a coin like this?
Thank you!
Helpful, my Dude!
GOOD MORNING PODNA !
Man I love that Mercury 1916 d. It’s on my bucket list to find a real one. But with such a low circ., chances are I’ll never own one. 🤷♂️
Thanks Daniel. That's a fooler coin if I have ever seen one. Have to be diligent and be aware..too good to be true? almost every time time it is. ANACS is great to use and to verify. I like them.
Nice work
Thanks!
I'm new to collecting coins, but is it possible to put these under some sort of UV light or other wavelength like they do for scanning CF bills, etc... and see if there's something visible around the mint mark that would indicate a counterfeit?
These are counterfeit because of the entire coin is off, not just an issue with the mint mark.
Daniel, is there not key markers on originals coins one can look for to authenticate? I've searched but have not come up with anything ng.
No, just mint mark and position off mint mark and design details. Look for alterations.
Did you try to remove the fake mint mark? Would be an excellent coin if you could do so without damaging it
It's a $10 coin topps without the 'D'.
@@CrustyWhiteBread ok.
It would still be a nice coin.
How would somebody add a mintmark like that in the first place? It's so small. Thanks for sharing, Daniel. 👍
i was wondering the same thing. Almost seems impossible.
So even cleaned it’s worth $ - also I’m glad you mentioned Anacs at the end-as a positive company to use. Researching heavily over this past year- ( opinion only humbly) That ANACS seems to have a faster turnaround time and still be reputable enough to be accepted as one of the top 3? Am I correct with that info? As having an Auction Channel - hope that’s right way to say it.. Would you be more weary of their slab , because of an issue with a coin grading higher than the other companies or something else?
You're correct on ANACS, but you buy the coin not the holder.
Remember if it’s a genuine ANACS coin and it’s rare, people will try to lowball you and then crack it out for the other two (now three)) TPGs
TPG? I’m not familiar with that term but the cent I’m referring to came down a collection line- which has very nice coins from Indian Heads of course the 77 wasn’t in it and all the others weigh 3+ grams- I want to get it slabbed - I’m trying to find out as much as possible and what it actually is?

So would it be worth the professional restoration part of PCGS?
Here's the help community where you can ask questions but you must post images as well coinauctionshelp.com/welcome-to-coinhelpu-community/
i have one from my stepdad. he got it back in the 70’s. iam thinking about sending it to pcgs
Too bad it was counterfeit, would have been a great discovery.
Another educational video, thanks Daniel.
If restoration is an integral component of figuring out if it’s real or not? Daniel do you absolutely agree under magnification? What’s your opinion?
Authentication not restoration, this coin is counterfeit so there's not restoring to make it authentic and you can't restore a cleaned coin.
Okay I understand now- I was under the impression that maybe the coin was real but designated as counterfeit-question- with in the collection there were 2 43 copper looking coins- however the magnet told the truth.

I didn't get fooled, you didn't hear what I said in the video.
He says he knew it was a counterfeit mintmark.

What do u do?? Hope it wasn't raining that day lol! Thank u Daniel, please don't stop educating these people
The “D” is not in the typical slant/location as a real 1916 D authentic dime.
I’ve seen people buy a “16-d” that didn’t even have a mint mark
Cheers
Ty for the lesson I would have been heart broken
Looks like it may have a partial tilted collar
Awesome
It is sad how many fakes are passed along as authentic. I need a 16d like everyone else but I can't afford them hahaha
Very sad
I looked at a few real ones and the D is a little low when comparing that coin.
Wow 😳😮😳, looks fine to me.🤷.
But I am No Expert. Still a beautiful coin,🌟😀☮️✌️
Let’s see if you can remove the mint mark if it’s not worth anything
They are not counterfeit. I have 2 1942 mercury dime both have the W on the obverse side and on the reverse one has S mint mark, the other has the D mint market.
The W is just the designer initials, all of them have that.
The mm looks good to me. Sorry that it came back counterfeit. It’s a beautiful silver coin.
you can see around the D it is messed with. also, no doubt cleaned. the chances of finding a 1916 d in this condition is about. 1%. I guess it was worth sending to check it out. at least now you know it is fake. no more speculation.
Surprise. Would have fooled me for sure.
Counterfeit $ is illegal to possess. Why did they send it back instead of sending it to the Secret Service, as its their job to keep fakes from circulating.

damn would have been huge .
After getting ripped off of a stunning 1928 peace dollar that I sent to anacs. I wouldn't suggest sending them anything Daniel
ANACS is reputable and they don’t rip people off.
I have a coin collection that wanting to sell to a collector from silver dollars, half dollars, quarters,dimes, nickels, pennies, if interested let me know
The entire coin just doesn’t look right to me.
Good video Daniel. I have a 1909s vdb that I have to send off to find out if it is real. 🤞
You may want to get a second look!! PCGS is pushing coins thru soo fast many are being returned with false info!!
That's just not true, there's a small amount of mistakes but do not listen to people who exaggerate the facts like this.
So it is a real 1916 dime but it has a fake d mint mark implanted on it, still a nice coin!
That’s a crying shame
That coin would be a great album filler for the 16-D slot.
I, like every other liar in this comment thread, also have a real one. ;)
Yes, you post images here and ask about them. coinauctionshelp.com/welcome-to-coinhelpu-community/
I like the fascist symbols on the back.
They’re not facist, they’re Greco Roman.
@@CoinHELPu I like to think of them as a representation of fascism .
And after Roosevelt died, they took Liberty off and put an actual fascist on the obverse.
I hope the Buyer didn't give too much for it, because Mercury came back in the dreaded Body Bag 🧆🚽🪠
