- Superlative Gem Uncirculated 1916-D Mercury Dime 1916-D Mercury Dime. MS-66 * FB (NGC). A richly toned, sharply struck, and impressively lustrous Gem example of the most important dime issue of the 20th century, a date that saw a production run of just 264,000 pieces. Both sides of this colorful Gem are splashed throughout with lively rose, fiery crimson, neon blue, and deep sunset orange iridescence. The pristine surfaces are essentially mark-free, even under low magnification. A splendid specimen that should appeal widely to those who appreciate quality as well as those who appreciate boldly toned 20th century issues. The only FB * example of the date certified by NGC.Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers This will certainly attract a lot of attention before the sale, building to a crescendo up to the moment the auctioneer offers it for competition. If you are among the contenders, I wish you the best of luck. PCGS# 4907. NGC Census: 6; 2 finer within the FB designation. One of the 6 at MS-66 is the present FB * coin.
