There were 2 varieties of dimes minted in 1916 so you have to determine which one you have before attempting to value it.

"Barber" dimes (designed by Charles Barber) have a right-facing portrait of Miss Liberty on the front and the words ONE DIME in a wreath on the back.

"Mercury" dimes (named for the winged Liberty cap worn by Miss Liberty) feature a left-facing portrait on the front and a Roman fasces (reed bundle and axe) on the reverse.

Please check the Related Questions for more about each variety.
