1916-D Mercury Dime Rare Highly Desired with Nice Rim and Detail, Bands

Description

1916-D Mercury Dime Rare Highly Desired with Nice Detail, Bands.
The 1916-D is one of the most heralded key dates in 20th century numismatics. Rare in all grades, it has been written that mint production of dimes in Denver in 1916 was stopped so that personnel could devote full time to making quarters.
The original montage of 264,000 was by far the lowest of the Mercury Dime Series. For comparison, the mintage of the 1916 was 22,180,080 and the mintage of the 1916-S was 10,450,000.
The 1916-D is in extremely high demand in all grades and even low grades sell for in excess of 00.
The 1916-D is quite rare in mint state and very rare in Gem condition. The strike is usually very sharp and luster is typically modest.
Our coin displayed in the picture is the coin you will receive.
