1916-D Mercury Dime, MS62
Green Label Holder

1916-D 10C MS62 PCGS. Original satin surfaces yield a blanket of mottled golden toning over each side of this pleasing lower-end Mint State example. Slight softness on the fasces bands keeps this piece from earning the Full Bands designation, but its residence in a green label PCGS holder will have significant appeal to collectors just the same. Light abrasions across each side accompany the grade, though none are individually bothersome. The 1916-D boasts by far the lowest mintage in the Mercury dime series at 264,000 coins. Production of this issue was suspended at Denver for much of the end of the year due to the need to strike a large order of quarter dollars for the Treasury. Population: 22 in 62, 40 finer (3/21).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23GY, PCGS# 4906, Greysheet# 4523)

Weight: 2.49 grams
