Auction 267 | Lot 5755 » Dimes » Mercury Dimes
1916 10C MS68 Full Bands PCGS. Adolph A. Weinman's Winged Liberty head or "Mercury" design made its debut as part of the coinage revolution that swept the dime, quarter, and half dollar in 1916. This classic design was used on the dime, and the obverse depicted a portrait of Liberty modeled after Elsie Stevens. Liberty wears a winged cap which symbolizes freedom of thought, but she was soon confused with the Roman god Mercury, and the name has been with her ever since. A fasces with an olive sprig dominates the reverse.

The Philadelphia Mint was busy in 1916, and 22.1 million Mercury dimes were produced, along with an additional 18.4 million pieces of the old Barber design. The 1916 is one of the more popular issues in the Mercury dimes series among type collectors, and it is also readily obtainable in various Mint State grades thanks to the public's penchant for saving first year issues. The fully brilliant example we now offer outshines (from a technical standpoint) virtually all of the 1916 Mercury Dimes submitted to the various grading services. Its surfaces are essentially as struck and blessed with razor sharp detail. Population: 3 in 68, 0 finer (6/01). (PCGS# 4905)

1916 10C MS 68 Full Bands PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint produced more than 40 million dimes in 1916, 22 million of which were of the new Winged Liberty, or "Mercury" design. Due to its status as a first-year issue, the 1916 Mercury dime was set aside in significant numbers. Nevertheless, few coins have been preserved with the technical quality of the present example. Visually stunning, both sides are toned in irregular splashes of orange-russet, golden, powder-blue, and lilac-gray iridescence. Every feature is sharply impressed and the central crossbands are, of course, fully split and well rounded. NGC and PCGS combined have certified only eight coins at the present level, and none finer (7/00).

1916 10C MS68 Full Bands PCGS. This premier representative of dimes from The Larry Shapiro Collection of Mercury Dimes is, fittingly, also premier in its standing among the small handful of highest PCGS-graded examples. The satiny fields are smooth and highly reflective. All fasces bands are full and bold. One small tick each on the pileus, or Liberty cap, and the neck are noted for accuracy. Unimprovable. Population: 7 in 68, 0 finer (11/05).

1916 10C MS68 Full Bands PCGS. This beautiful issue's first year status meant that ample quantities were spared from circulation and production quality was exceedingly high. It is not surprising, as a result, that Gem (MS65) Full Bands examples are obtainable for $100 or less. As the grade advances upward to approach technical perfection, the number of high grade candidates dwindles dramatically. Offered here is one of the few that was deemed worthy at the major grading services. Its fully brilliant surfaces offer bright satin-like luster and impeccable smoothness. Faint die clashing is noticed at the base of the reverse. Population: 5 in 68, 0 finer (4/03).
