1916-D Mercury Dime, MS63 Full Bands
Sharp First-Year Key

1916-D 10C MS63 Full Bands PCGS. Production of the 1916-D Mercury dime was suspended shortly after it commenced as the Denver Mint shifted its resources to the coinage of quarters, to fulfill a large order from the Treasury for that denomination. Dime coinage did not resume until 1917. The 1916-D mintage of only 264,000 pieces is by far the lowest in the series, making this issue is the only true "stopper" in the date and mintmark set regardless of grade. The present coin is a spectacular Select example that exhibits sharply detailed design elements, with Full Bands definition on the fasces. The lustrous, lightly toned surfaces show only minor signs of contact.(Registry values: N4719)
