Description
1916-D Mercury Dime, MS66 Full Bands
Undisputed Key to This Popular Series
1916-D 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. The 1916 introduction
of the Winged Liberty or "Mercury" dime marked, according to
numismatic art critic Cornelius Vermeule, "the first individual and
imaginative design for this small denomination in American
numismatic art." Between 1907 and 1921, during the Renaissance of
American numismatic art, every U.S. coinage design from the Lincoln
cent through double eagle was changed with a broad sweep of the
brush -- 10 new designs in all from the Lincoln cent through
Saint-Gaudens double eagle. It is no accident that some of these
series are among the most popularly collected today, with the
Lincoln cent, Buffalo nickel, and Mercury dime likely near the top
of the list.While the Lincoln cent and Buffalo nickel series each has multiple key coins depending on condition (and color, in the case of cents), it is difficult to make a case for any issue other than the 1916-D dime being a key to the Mercury series. The low mintage of only 264,000 pieces made the issue an instant rarity, and attrition and extensive circulation took their toll on most of the emission. This example has been well cared for since the year of issue. The mint luster is bright and frosted, and each side displays a light accent of magenta patina with a thin sliver of blue at the margins. Population: 26 in 66 (3 in 66+) Full Bands, 9 finer. CAC: 9 in 66, 3 finer (7/19).
