<B>1916-D 10C MS62 Full Bands PCGS.</B></I> Delicate gold and sky-blue tints visit the otherwise silver-white fields on this attractive key-date Mercury dime. The luster is soft but pleasing, and the devices, including the all-important bands of the fasces, show strong detail. A bit of flatness appears at the second T and E of STATES, but this is minor in context. Light slide marks on the cheek and an abrasion just above the I of LIBERTY contribute to the grade.<BR> With a comparatively small collecting community in the mountainous and Midwestern states that received coins from Denver in bank distributions, the 1916-D is not so available as it might have been had the key issue come from Philadelphia. Non-numismatists, however, were interested in the new design across the nation, and all across the country, citizens saved examples. Thus, Mint State examples are more prevalent than they might have been had the key issue fallen in another year.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
