Description:

Notable Full Bands Gem 1916-D Dime

1916-D 10C MS65 Full Bands NGC. This amazing Gem is frosty and sharply struck with elegant luster and light, lovely aquamarine and silver-tan shadings. The bands on the fasces show full separation, and the overall visual appeal is excellent. Though two tiny marks appear to the right of the B in LIBERTY on the obverse, these minor flaws are entirely consistent with the Gem designation. Immensely appealing and a highly desirable representative of this famous key issue.
The 1916-D dime, while long a target of counterfeiters, alterers, and other numismatic ne'er-do-wells, has benefited from third-party certification, and the gains in price seen in recent decades are due, at least in part, to greater market confidence as a result of encapsulation. Paul Gilkes, in an August 15, 2005 article in Coin World, wrote that " ... forgeries of the 1916-D Winged Liberty Head dime are plentiful." Even today, knowledge of coin diagnostics is far from obsolete, and careful observation of confirmed genuine examples reveals a number of interesting and useful traits.
There are four confirmed reverse dies for the 1916-D dime, and each of these has been studied extensively; references such as Lange's Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes often discuss the dies at length. On all four dies, the mintmark shows the exact same shape, with a triangular void in the center and parallel, crisp serifs at the left. This representative corresponds to Die Pair 4, which has a comparatively low, tilted mintmark close to the lowest leaf on the reverse. Census: 23 in 65 Full Bands, 7 finer (1/08).
