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.
Thank you.should I have it looked at by a dealer,or send it in to grade? Not sure of value
Me too!!
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.
