1916-D 10C MS63 Full Bands NGC
<B>1916-D 10C MS63 Full Bands NGC.</B></I> Nearly every series of U.S. coinage has its key date issue or issues. A key date is the numismatic term for a rarity within a series, as it is the "key" to a complete collection of those coins. In the Mercury dime series, the key issues are the 1916-D, 1921, 1921-D, and the two overdates. Some collectors consider the 1942/1 and 1942/1-D overdates to be integral parts of a set, while others consider the overdates to be minor varieties that are not necessary. Regardless of each individual's viewpoint, the 1916-D is an integral part of the Mercury dime series, required by every collector who desires a complete collection of these coins.<BR> This lovely specimen is fully brilliant with frosty silver luster and excellent design details as indicated by the Full Bands designation assigned by NGC. A few minuscule ticks on each side prevent a higher grade. However, the eye appeal is exceptional.<BR><I>From The Arnold & Harriet Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
