1916-D Mercury Dime (10c)

The 1916-D Mercury dime stands as the undisputed key date of the entire series. With a meager mintage of just 264,000 pieces from the Denver Mint, it's dramatically scarcer than its Philadelphia counterpart from the same inaugural year.

This honest G6 example with its well-deserved CAC sticker shows exactly what you want in a lower grade key date - original surfaces with even, natural gray patina and no problems whatsoever. The wear is completely honest and evenly distributed, with all major design elements still clearly visible. The eye appeal is solid for the grade, and the coin presents as a textbook Good-6 that hasn't been messed with over the decades. An excellent opportunity to add this essential key date to your set.
