Hey everyone, so I was eyeballing a 1936s merc dime I have, and noticed a neat struck through D on the obverse from "God" on the front, will this help the value of the dime?? I havent seen any others in the 2 hours I've been searching.

Sorry your pics are not clear enough to zoom in on the “d”.
On the reverse there might be a die scratch on the blade if that “line” is raised on the coin.
Errors found on coins is a niche market. Some people collect and some people don’t. To get an idea of value check sold auctions on the bay, GC, or HA.
I do see the anomaly you are referring to... Though I would not call it a strike through...is it raised or depressed? Cannot tell from the pictures.... Cheers, RickO
Appears raised to me in which case it is not a strike thru. Would possibly be a clashed die.
A die clash would be depressed.

It appears depressed to me, I took those pics through a HARDCASE and I jus happened to see it under the right angle
If you had a guess at grade on that what would it be??

Yes, of course you are correct. But I still stand by my assessment of what a struckthru would look like.
Oh, it's definitely not a strike through. In the one picture, it looks like a clear D. In the other picture, it looks more like die damage in the shape of a D. Even the edge of the axe look completely different in the two photos, so I'm not proffering an opinion.
