1916-D Mercury Dime (10c)

The 1916-D Mercury Dime holds a special place in numismatic history, marking the first year of the Mercury Dime series. With its mintage of only 264,000, it stands as one of the key dates and rarities in the series, heavily sought after by collectors. The Denver Mint's low production numbers for this year make high-grade examples particularly desirable.

This coin, graded AU58 by NGC, is adorned with a coveted CAC sticker, attesting to its quality and originality. The coin exhibits vibrant luster and retains impressive detail. The surfaces have a pleasing super-original patina - never dipped or processed in any way - with light toning that enhances the coin's eye appeal without obscuring its intricate details. An exceptional specimen for any Mercury Dime collection.
