This 1916d mercury dime is in a pcgs generation 4.4 holder.
I apologize about the picture quality and smudge on the holder.
What would would guess the grade to be?
Second issue is the reverse is rotated maybe 5 degrees to the left.
Is this normal?
Does this rotation make this coin more valuable?
Should I resend the coin in?
I look forward to your comments.
Thank you for your comments: vg8

VG10. A nice example of the grade.
VG 8 ?
I'd like a close-up pic of the mintmark.

Is this picture of the mint mark good enough?
The die rotation is something I've seen on every one I've owned. It is a diagnostic of a genuine coin

Thank you i did not know that either. I quickly double checked my other 1916d and it had the rotation too.
10 and very nice for the grade.
First swag vg10
I would go with 10 and I did not know of the die rotation diagnostic either.

Hoard the keys.
I say VG8. Coins with less than 10 or 15 percent rotation have no premiums. The most valued rotated dies are 90 to 180 degrees rotated.

VG8? Interesting about the rotation. I had a nice 16-D for a while (long gone now) and never noticed that about it.
I see quite a few with the rotation but every now and then.......

there's a distinct die rotation for each of the 4 mintmark types, they aren't profound but can help with authentication.
Late to the game, but agree with the 08 grade.... Cheers, RickO
Didn't know that. I learn something new every day.
