Looks like a 1916-S, plus some extra metal or debris to the right of the S.

Your photo above.

High grade 1916-S mint mark area.

Possibly an S... but the wear and possible PMD makes it a guess IMO. Cheers, RickO

I'm trying to imagine it, but just can't come to that conclusion.

The PCGS price guide info for mercury dimes can be found here.

Note - per PCGS, these figures are average dealer ask for PCGS-slabbed coins.

Not a D and not worth sending anywhere.

Just my 2 cents.

look at the low grade ones for comp.

I would not even consider spending the monies to send that coin for grading.
