Fake 1916-D dime

Merc

Take a look at this one. There is no way it is real. The shape and size of the D is all wrong. Plus, it sits above the wear on the rim. The lower half of the D should be worn too.

1916D fake

The price is still low so I gues it is scaring some of the bidders away.

And it's AG03- to boot.

Interesting "specmen"

As fake as they come my friend. Never buy one that is not certified by
PCGS , NGC, or ANACS. Even they get it wrong sometimes, but at least you
have a guarantee with them.

Shocker

How exactly is that a G+ coin (unless grading was aided with a 5th of Jack). It's amazing how the mintmark escaped all of the wear that the rest of the coin went through.

It does not even look like a 'D'. It looks kind of like a backwards curved 'E' or Episilon. Minted in Eureka California, no doubt.

I agree it does look fake, but that's not stopping people from bidding on it.

It appears to be slabbed, may even graded, but doesn't give that info! What's up with this picture and description?

dorkkarl

definitely fake, barring some bizarre digi-pic distortion.

btw, i think the coin's in a capitol plastics holder.

I agree it's appears to be in a Capitol Plastics holder, and I also think it has been cleaned. So even if it's real, it will never make it into a slab.

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.

Yeah right! Bet it shows up on Yahoo next!

I have never seen a seller cancel so many bids before .

I wrote to the seller of this auction, told him that I am a professional numismatist and on my recommendation he cancelled the auction. He wrote that in all good conscience he couldn't sell a fake coin to anyone. He also asked where he could have it authenticated at low cost and I suggested ANACS. I did explain how the mintmark should look on a genuine specimen as well. The guy seems to be genuinely interested in doing the right thing.
