1916-D. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bands PQ. CAC Approved. The 1916-D is not among the most challenging strike rarities of the type, and at least 50% of Mint State survivors come with Full Bands definition. On the other hand, the 1916-D has one of the lowest Mint State populations for the series in terms of total number of coins known with just 264,000 pieces produced. It is elusive in all but the lowest circulated grades (AG to VG). This is an issue that is always high on collectors' want lists, and one that is particularly desirable at the highest levels of Mint State. This satiny Gem is mostly brilliant with expectably strong eye appeal and just a little mottled patina overall. As expected of the grade assignment, there are no marks or mentionable abrasions of any kind, and the strike is equally full at the rims as it is at the centers. An appealing, solidly graded representative of the most eagerly sought date and mint in the Mercury dime series. Pop 20; 9 finer, 2 in 66+, 7 in 67. (PCGS # 4907) . Estimated Value $50,000 - 60,000.
