  Scroll to the bottom and look at the mint marks included in David Lange's 2005 Book.

  I hate to burst your bubble, but I think this is counterfeit.

  Something doesn't look right with it...
  Notice the bridge of the nose, and the reverse rims as well.
  
  

  It's all about what the people want...

  It does not look genuine in the images. The MM and entire reverse look like it came from a bubble gum machine.

  Looks like the d and the base of the ribbon were moved atleast once looks like there is an impression for both.

  Not a real coin. Why don't you weigh it? I will bet the weight is off.

  I agree, IMO fake, the center of the "D" should look like a triangle tilted 90 degrees to the right.

  I would note that most of the raw 1916-D dimes are no good. I would respectfully suggest that no one buy one sight unseen. I wouldn't even recommend ever buying a 1916-D dime that isn't certified by a very reputable grading service.

  It's fake as can be, and you might as well have an empty space vs. this out-and-out fake. Best to destroy it, and next time you shop for a '16-D, don't be a bargain hunter, and buy one certified.
