Brilliant Mint State 1916-D Dime, MS63 Full Bands

1916-D 10C MS63 Full Bands NGC. The key date to the Mercury dime series, the 1916-D dime is an issue that is in demand in AG or Mint State--and everything in between, as long as the mintmark is visible and the authenticity is certain. Recent price surges for this issue obviously reflect that ceaseless demand, and show no sign of diminution. Mint State examples are certainly difficult to locate, which is why we are pleased to offer no less than four different examples in the present sale.
This specimen has a well executed strike and satiny silver luster, with brilliant surfaces complemented by a hint of champagne toning. The all-important central bands are fully split (as are the top and bottom horizontal bands), although the lower diagonal joins the nearby olive leaf, as often seen. A couple of ticks on each band likely help determine the grade, but this piece seems high-end, and there is no doubt at all about its eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
