If you have a so-called "Barber" dime (named for its designer, not a hair cutter) there won't be a D mint mark because that design was struck only at Philadelphia and San Francisco.
If you have a Mercury head dime the mint mark position will be to the right of the E in ONE on the back. It may be blank (Phila.), or there may be an S or D.
The difference (and the value) is where they were made. S= San Francisco, D= Denver.
The 1916-D Mercury dime is the key-date coin of the series. Genuine examples of a circulated coin have values from $900.00 to more then $10,000.00.
