1916-D Mercury Dime (10c)

Honest, wholesome wear defines this 1916-D, the key to the Mercury series, with a bold full date and a clearly visible D mintmark on the reverse - exactly what you want to see on this issue. The surfaces carry a natural pewter-gray skin with soft olive-gold accents, completely original and free of anything distracting. Rims are above average for the grade, the legends are strong, and even the fasces retains partial detail for the grade. Housed in a PCGS holder and CAC-approved, this example is a textbook original problem-free key date.
