To determine if a 1916 dime is counterfeit, you can check several key features. First, examine the weight and dimensions; a genuine dime should weigh 2.5 grams and have a diameter of 17.91 mm. Additionally, inspect the coin's design details, such as the clarity of the lettering and imagery, since counterfeit coins often have poor quality. Finally, use a magnet; genuine dimes are made of silver and will not be magnetic, while many counterfeits may be made from magnetic metals.
