Description

Frosty MS62 1916-D Mercury Dime

1916-D 10C MS62 NGC. At first glance this piece suggests a finer grade in terms of its overall appeal. The silvery surfaces are frosty, with cartwheel luster and a tinge of gold on each side. Under a high-power loupe, a few tiny areas of dark toning appear--on the obverse near the top rim and on the reverse tucked into some of the device crevices--but they are not readily visible otherwise. The horizontal bands are completely visible, but they are neither fully split nor totally rounded, the criteria for a Full Bands designation. This piece is nonetheless quite appealing and will fit well into a Mint State or high-grade circulated set.(Registry values: N2998)
