1916-D Dime, MS62 Full Bands
Consistently Popular Issue

1916-D 10C MS62 Full Bands PCGS. The 1916-D dime is one of those issues that continually generates collector excitement, irrespective of grade. Paul Green, in a July 26, 2005 Numismatic News article titled "1916-D Dime Still Maintains Strong Appeal," perhaps sums it up best: "Clearly, the years have done little or nothing to tarnish the reputation of the 1916-D. Demand for it seems to be consistent, with some who are not collecting Mercury dimes still wanting a 1916-D for their collection." This reputation and concomitant demand clearly manifest themselves in the coin's price, as it continues to climb in all grades.
The present MS62 Full Bands specimen displays lustrous surfaces tinged with whispers of golden-tan, especially in the border areas. The well-executed strike transcends the Full Bands designation to encompass all design elements, including sharpness on the hair and wing feathers, the diagonal bands, and the branches and leaves on either side of the fasces. A light toning streak appears above the middle bands. A sharp example for the grade, one that should elicit spirited bidding.(Registry values: N2998)
