It's Silver? Yep, and its a Mercury Dime, too...!
Folks, here's my first silver dime (on the right), only flattened by a passing train...!
See the silhouette of Mercury on the elongated disk? - compare to the image of a coin on the left.
Also note the serrated (reeded) edge on my "coin" .
The silver of my find is quite tarnished.
No detail on reverse side. ...and NO date...! ...oh, WAIT!... Don't I see a "1916-D"...
