Description

1916-D 5C MS66 PCGS. Uncommonly well-defined at the braid and on the bison's head, though the shoulder shows trifling softness. The luster is frosty and thoroughly impressive. The faint green-gold accents visible on the obverse cede to deeper peach hues on the reverse. Excellent preservation and eye appeal. Though the 1916-D is not particularly scarce in grades through MS64, MS65 examples are challenging and neither NGC nor PCGS has graded a coin finer than MS66; with just 11 such coins graded by the latter firm, it ranks as a condition rarity at that level (3/09).
