1916D finally graded

[Ray(MaconGA)]

Hello all, I know its been along time since Ive posted anything, but I have a new job in the Air Force and I am gone about 50% of the time, and am real limited on time. I got my 16D dime back from grading and it is authentic, it graded out at EF-40 with corrosion, still worth about $3500-$4000. I was worried that it would not be real. I took it in to a coin dealer and they could not say for sure, so I sent it to ANACS. W&E treasure magazine said that they wanted to put it into their best finds edition, which I thought was very cool, a friend of mine wrote up a article for me. about a month ago I took it to my detecting meeting, but did not win best find I thought that was kind of funny, I got beat out by a gold ring, and a Half dime( worth about $40). well just wanted to share with everyone, and Happy Hunting.

Hey Ray, if you didn't win best find win an authentic 1916D Merc. These people are in desperate need of some new judges. Excellent, Excellent once in a lifetime find.

Where are you stationed? I just retired from the Air Force two months ago. What is your AFSC? Also, congrats on the coin! Cal
