1916-D Mercury Dime. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. OGH--First Generation. A coin that is sure to sell for a strong bid, this first-year Mercury Dime is lightly worn with sharp definition remaining to most features. The central-reverse crossbands are lightly worn, as befits their positioning on the coin, but the strike appears to have been sharp enough to qualify as Full Bands. There are no outwardly distracting abrasions, and the overall appearance is uncommonly smooth for the grade. Speckled russet and olive-orange patina to the obverse, the reverse is more evenly and extensively toned in lovely reddish-gold, blue and silver-lavender colors. From a mintage of just 264,000 pieces, and an important high-grade survivor of the key-date issue in the Mercury Dime series of 1916-1945.
