1916... D???

I picked this up along with 80 other various coins from a friend who knows nothing about coins and only wanted to buy golf stuff. (I gave him a pretty good deal in case you're wondering) At the time, I thought this was just a 1916. I looked under my 30x lens and I still thought it was just a 1916. But now that I get home and take a pic of it and zoom in, I'm not so sure... <img src="/metal/html/shocked.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":shock"> It looks like there could be something there; the "D" mark is so different and located differently on the mercury dimes I have.
I wish there was some other mark or difference between the 1916 and 1916d so that I could know for sure!! <img src="/metal/html/confused.gif" border=0 width=15 height=22 alt=":?">
 
At least the 1916 is clear... <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">
 
Check the link below for the D. It's higher and to the right.

It does appear to be out of place for a mintmark, possibly a small dent ??? It would pay to have someone look at it however.
 
Could be... but when I look at the other mercury dimes I have, the mint mark is in slightly different positions. I would assume that the placement of the "D" on your 1916d would be the same as mine, but maybe not?
I think I'm gonna have to get a dealer to look at it.
 
Jeremy, after digging the 16 D last month (the one that Keith posted the link to) I have been checking ebay prices and ones that have the D vertually obliterated are still getting $250-$350. The only way to tell for sure is to send it away to be graded and slabbed. They are the experts and they do charge a fee...$30 or $35 I think. If it is not a D then you are out the money. If it is then it was money well spent...if you decide to sell it. Mine, well I think I'm keeping it.

The D on the 1916Ds are high compared to the S mintmark. I have found a few just like yours and hoped they were but unfortunately they were not.
