The Pictures need to have a better quality, I don't see the 'D' Mintmarks very well on the reverse (Except on the Coin to the right)

Re: 2-1916d mercury dimes
just my 2 cents, but it looks like they would get an environmental damage designation, as it looks like they were burned

Fake sent back in a body bag. The MMs are different from known originals.

Re: 2-1916d mercury dimes
Can you explain for my reference what you notice that tells you they are fake. The photos are a bit rough for me, but as a dealer, I would like to know what you are seeing. Thanks!

Re: 2-1916d mercury dimes
Experience of studying fakes makes them stand out pretty easily...usually. Online sources are there for the key dates. I also use overlays and other graphic methods on common (yes, they fake common coins as well). And...years ago I bought a bunch of fakes when eBay allowed it so I would be able to study them. I have quite a few.
I can send you in the right direction. There are many links and a lot of information so don't get stuck on one.
