Description
1916-D Mercury Dime, MS64 Full Bands
Low-Mintage Key Issue
1916-D 10C MS64 Full Bands NGC. A 1915 article in the
American Journal of Numismatics entitled "The Designers of
the New Silver Coinage" notes: "Each denomination of the new silver
coinage will have a different design, making our modern series in
all metals much more varied than the old issues." Clearly, members
of the numismatic community were looking forward to replacing the
tired Barber coinage that had been in circulation since 1892.
Adolph A. Weinman's new Winged Liberty or Mercury design was
introduced in 1916. The Denver Mint was only able to strike 264,000
examples late in the year, making the 1916-D the lowest-mintage
issue in the series and one of the premier dates in 20th century
American numismatics. This is a brilliant example that is sharply
struck throughout. There are no singularly mentionable abrasions on
this bright, satiny dime.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23GY, PCGS# 4907, Greysheet# 4524)
