Almost Uncirculated 1916-D Mercury Dime

1916-D 10C AU50 ANACS. First-year-of-issue coins have always been popular with collectors. The Winged Liberty Head dime, better known as the Mercury dime, was minted at Denver only in November of the inaugural year, resulting in a mintage total that was to be the lowest from any mint for the entire series. The 1916-D has long been a trophy coin and the key of the series, and though thousands have been certified in all grades, most of those coins grade lower than AU. Light golden and steel-gray toning are intermixed over both sides of this well-defined example.(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23GY, PCGS# 4906, Greysheet# 4523)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
