Boldly Struck 1916-D Dime, MS63 Full Bands
1916-D 10C MS63 Full Bands PCGS. Between the 1940s and 1960s, two New York Transit Authority employees--who were also collectors--hoarded special coins that passed through their till. When the smoke cleared, they had accumulated a staggering 241 1916-D Mercury dimes; and interesting fact, since the relative rarity of the 1916-D ten cent piece was well known as far back as 1916. This explains why the vast majority of survivors are in the lower circulated grades. Fortunately, some early collectors had the foresight to save examples in Uncirculated condition, such as the piece offered here. Whoever set this piece aside also knew not to mess with it. Both sides display medium density, variegated gray and rose toning and the mint luster shines strongly through the patina. Completely struck in all areas and showing no obvious or mentionable abrasions. (Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23GY, PCGS# 4907, Greysheet# 4524)
