Semi-OT: Don't look now, but...

ursabear

All the posts on my page are coin posts, and really good ones, too!

It's a good thing. What a great place.

Now, to involve coins in the post...

Is a nic-a-date '16D dime (for the D) worthless, or is it worth a bunch? I know that it makes the coin "doctored", but does it add value if the coin is proven as a "D"?

I'd rather eat Barbed Wire and wash it down with a cold glass of Carpet Tacks than save restored date coins.

If it's a D, it will be net graded, but has some value... it's just like discovering a rare date on a buff... it's still a rare date- the only snag is I don't know how nic-a-date works on silver, if at all.

From what I understand, nic a date and other acids don't really work with silver coins. But if you can prove there's a D on the 1916 and it fits the diagnostics well enough, then sure it'd be more valuable! Might even be a PO01 1916d!

I saw a 1916 DDO Buffalo that had a restored date in an ANACS holder net graded to Fr, and the guy was asking about $500. I'd say a 1916-D would have value.
