This 1916-D Mercury dime looks "off" to me. Does it to you too?

Yes from those pics it appears to be a cast copy.

From that image wouldn't touch it! In hand it maybe a different story but no way from that photo.

Date looks all wrong, especially when I compare it with the coin pictured in CoinFacts.
An authorized PCGS dealer, and a contributor to the Red Book.
Date looks wrong and the position of the mm looks off too.

Total fake
That date isn't even close!

Some may think this comment is harsh , however if you are buying a coin such as this or a trade dollar ,or any key high dollar specimen.....and you haven't done your homework well your own it!
With the information out there today, on line in forums like this, on the many web sites that are FREE to learn and educate yourself ....them no sympathy . Perhasp wisdom comes with age,or learning from mistakes....but making a purchase on a key coin especially one that has flags you eat it.
"That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante"
It has been pulled.
Actually it's a struck coin using cast dies. Typically of the fake coins coming out of china these days.

Terrible counterfeit. First glance denies the coin. Just look at the date, which is the first thing anyone would look at. Sorry about the blurry copy.

Yeah, its off alright, and then some
Yep... Fake... Date and MM give it away...then the 'cast' appearance... Cheers, RickO
I never got past the cast look.
No need for me to go any further in examining the other faults that others have accurately pointed out.
