Description

1916 10C MS68 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. The Weinman Winged Liberty (or "Mercury") dime made its debut in 1916. The Philadelphia issue saw a mintage of more than 22 million pieces, and many were saved as the first of their kind. Even with a high savings rate, though, only a handful of coins are known with both the impressive preservation needed for an MS68 grade and the bold strike required for a Full Bands designation. This beautiful example has both. Minimally toned surfaces sport shining cartwheel luster and fine frosty accents. Population: 8 in 68 Full Bands, 0 finer (6/10).
