Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Description:
Important Key 1916-D Dime, MS65 Full Bands
1916-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The Mercury dime series began with a key in the 1916-D, and while other issues had low production over the years, none has achieved the fame and status of the first-year coins from Denver. At 264,000 pieces struck, it has less than a quarter of the original mintage of its nearest rival, the 1921-D. Low-grade and mid-range examples are always in demand, and unquestionably Mint State survivors are far more elusive than their circulated brethren.While the enthusiasm for the new design did cause a number of survivors to be set aside at the time of issue, the proportion of pieces saved was smaller than it was for the more heavily populated regions served by the Mints at Philadelphia and San Francisco. According to David Lange, in his 2005 revision to The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes, the popularity of coin boards, a Depression-era innovation that brought coin collecting to new prominence, also led to more widespread knowledge about the 1916-D and its rarity. Such awareness, however, did not come in time for more Mint State examples to be saved for posterity.
Delicate sky-blue and tan-orange accents visit each side of this gleaming MS65 piece. The strike is excellent for the issue, with impressive rounding and separation on the bands of the fasces. The mildly textured surfaces are impressively preserved, and the overall visual appeal is delightful. Full Bands Gems are rarities by almost any estimation, and the available population figures are likely inflated by resubmissions. Population: 32 in 65 Full Bands, 24 finer (4/08).
