Lovely 1916-D Dime, MS64 Full Bands

1916-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS. Along with the Lincoln cent and the Buffalo nickel, the Mercury dime one of the three series most frequently associated with Whitman folder collecting by the baby-boom generation of numismatists. Most collectors who tackled the series wound up with a few unfilled holes, possibly the 1921 and 1921-D issues or some elusive early S-mints. The space that bedeviled all but a select few, however, was the one meant for the 1916-D dime.
This Choice Full Bands example has the potential to fulfill a collector's dream. The strike is undeniably bold, with excellent separation on the bands of the fasces. The softly lustrous surfaces offer whispers of green-gold patina, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. In sum, an incredibly attractive survivor for the grade assigned.
From The Scheppman Collection, #4 PCGS Registry of Full Band Mercury Dimes. The remainder of The Scheppman Collection will be offered at our February Long Beach Sale.(Registry values: N4719)
