1916-D Mercury Dime (10c)

The 1916-D Mercury dime is the undisputed key date of the series, with a tiny mintage of just 264,000 pieces - making it one of the most sought-after coins in 20th century numismatics. Denver's first year striking Mercury dimes produced this legendary rarity that has challenged collectors for over a century.

This ANACS AG 3 example shows honest, heavy circulation wear but retains all the essential details that matter most. The date and mintmark are both clearly readable, Mercury's profile remains well-defined, and the reverse fasces are still distinct despite the extensive wear. The surfaces display that smooth, even gray patina typical of heavily circulated silver, with no concerning marks or damage. For collectors seeking an affordable entry point into owning this famous key date, this represents solid value in a problem-free example.
