Hi guys, someone pls give me they're professional opinion.. Is this a 1916d merc dime and does it still hold at least half it's value or am I Missing something . Any insight would help pls

It could be a 1916 D, but it's hard to tell with the reverse side of the coin being upside down in your picture.

If it is a 1916 D, the hole would greatly decrease the value, but it would still be worth a lot more than other 1916 mercs that aren't Ds. in the same or little better condition but without a hole in them.

I played with it, turned the picture over, enlarged and enhanced to the best of my ability, which aint much, but now, what do you think?

What do you guys think the value would be at AG with a hole?

I think you are missing something and better wait until you have it in hand because I don't believe the items beside it are that small!

There's many large novelty 1916 D Merc dimes.

I didn't pick up on that, way to go. I don't think the "D" looks right either.
