Description
Fantastic Key 1916-D Dime, MS62 Full Bands
1916-D 10C MS62 Full Bands NGC. The 1916-D dime is a "coin board classic," one of the early 20th century issues that reaped tremendous publicity from the mass-produced cardboard coin folders widely distributed in the 1930s and later. Even in those early days, the 1916-D was the most popular and costliest Mercury dime by far; Lange's Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes quotes a January 1940 advertisement placed in The Numismatist that offered Uncirculated 1916-D pieces for $9.50, compared to just $0.85 for the 1916 and $0.60 for the 1916-S.Though prices have escalated since that distant day, collectors seek examples of this coveted issue no less fervently. This gold-accented piece, silver-white otherwise with lustrous and mildly textured fields, shows strong central detail that included full separation on the bands. Wispy abrasions on the portrait preclude a finer designation, yet the eye appeal remains strong.(Registry values: N2998)
