Lot Description

1916-D Mercury Dime. AU-53 FB (PCGS). CAC. Blended pearl gray and champagne iridescence complements both surfaces. Boldly struck with much satiny luster surviving in the fields. From a tiny mintage of just 264,000 pieces, by far the lowest production figure of any issue in the Mercury Dime series. An attractive example of this desirable and eagerly sought key issue.
