    I think it's an optical illusion.

    Nope. The D is very evident, even on well worn pieces.

    No, not really.

    Some shapes in there could be interpreted as a "D" but I don't believe this is a Denver coin.

    No, I came into possession of a coin like that in the 60's when I was a little kid and talked myself into it being a 16-D. I still have it image The upper part of the D would still be visible near the tip of the lower leaf right of the E.

    Don't you mean optical delusion?

    As has been stated, this example does not come from one of the four die pairs used for genuine 1916-D's.

    Using my brand new Acme BS-2000 Ultrasound copier/scanner (with optional heat / massage and fax capabilities), I was able to go beneath the wear and the crud to see what might really be hiding there. Seems as though all of the naysayers were wrong. It is a beautiful coin, well worth the $6.00 or whatever was paid for it.
