Went to an old field tonight and found 3 silvers in 2 hours.

This field has given up 2 large cents and 2 half dimes.

This is my 2nd 1916 merc from this field.

The first pic looks like a D.

The closeup kind of looks like an S.

This is a much better pic and I guess that I must say that I was wrong. "S" for sure.

You had me thinkin' " You lucky SOB" :laughing9:

Oh well. Glad I didn't get my hopes up too high.

This is the 2nd time someone told me I might have a 1916 D
:laughing9:
 
Well you know what they say, third ones a charm, hang in there it's coming to you, no doubt, Ken.
 
I thought it could be a D too til the close up. Next time. :thumbsup:
 
If you hold the dime with the head straight up in front of you and flip the coin over, the torch/sceptor will be about three degree's off from the center of where you held it. The branch will also have a little branch coming out of it and barely touching
the top of "D". It looks like an "S" to me. Still a great find. :hello2:
