1916-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS
<B>1916-D 10C MS64 Full Bands PCGS.</B></I> Along with the Lincoln cent and the Buffalo nickel, the Mercury dime one of the three series most frequently associated with Whitman folder collecting by the baby-boom generation of numismatists. Most collectors who tackled the series wound up with a few unfilled holes, possibly the 1921 and 1921-D issues or some elusive early S-mints. The space that bedeviled all but a select few, however, was the one meant for the 1916-D dime.<BR> This Choice Full Bands example has the potential to fulfill a collector's dream. The strike is undeniably bold, with excellent separation on the bands of the fasces. The softly lustrous surfaces offer whispers of green-gold patina, and the overall eye appeal is excellent. In sum, an incredibly attractive survivor for the grade assigned.<BR><I>From The Scheppman Collection, #4 PCGS Registry of Full Band Mercury Dimes. The remainder of The Scheppman Collection will be offered at our February Long Beach Sale.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
