  Thats an excellent article. Do not buy one raw. Only PCGS/NGC/ANACS certified.

  Brian,
  
  If I may expand a bit. It should be okay to buy raw from local dealers, and from sellers who will offer a 100% refund if the coin does not certify (you should know the seller). As many people know the 1916-d is the second most counterfeited coin, only surpassed by the 1909-S V.D.B.

  I agree, its a great idea, but with trusted parties only.

  Even with a trusted dealer I think you should get a guarantee that if the coin does not come back from a service as real you have a return option. Please dont laugh at this as this is exactly what happened to me in the middle 80's.

  These diagnostics work on higher grade examples, but there are a lot of 1916-Ds out there with the mintmark worn down flat. Some are merging into the rim.
