1916 $10 gold coin
Hello everyone. Jerry here from Alabama. I have a 1916 Indian head $10 gold coin that has no mint mark. Someone has told me the mint mark was probably scratched off but I have looked at this coin under x80 magnifier and can't find any evidence of it being scratch off. Was there ever a 1916 made in another mint besides San Fresco?

Welcome!
For 1916, all eagles were struck at the San Francisco mint, where 138,500 were made.
Would like to see a photo of the coin. Could have been a plugged die. Could be a forgery.
Larson's book dealt with a professional authenticator examining 114 examples of 1916-S ten dollar gold piece, gathered at random from different collections in widely scattered locations throughout the U.S.; out of the 114 examples, 64 of them were forgeries. This was done about 25 years ago.

I would send it to ANACS to see if it's authentic. The images are not clear enough and when you take them through plastic it's even worse.
