Key-Date 1916-D Dime, MS65 Full Bands

1916-D 10C MS65 Full Bands NGC. The key-date 1916-D Mercury dime had a mintage of only 264,000 coins, which was in stark contrast to the large number of ten cent pieces made at the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints in 1916 (22.1 million and 10.4 million pieces, respectively). The entire 1916-D dime issue, according to David Lange (2005), was released in November 1916. He writes that the coinage of dimes was then halted at Denver so that the presses could be redirected to produce a large order for quarters the Treasury Department had placed.
The radiantly lustrous surface of this Gem are lightly toned with splashes of champagne-gold, sky-blue, and gray-violet patina. An impressive strike leaves sharp detail on the design features, culminating in full central bands. A few minuscule reverse marks do not subtract from the coin's great overall appeal. Census: 24 in 65 Full Bands, 7 finer (12/09).(Registry values: N7079)
