1916 Mercury Dime. MS-67+ FB (PCGS). CAC.This wonderfully original example exhibits a crescent of bold steel gray patina along the lower and left obverse border. The balance of the surfaces are untoned apart from wisps of iridescent silver and gold, the in hand appearance expectably smooth for the assigned grade. Bordering on pristine, in fact, this fully struck and highly lustrous Superb Gem from the first year of the Mercury dime series will appeal to advanced type and date collectors. Outstanding!
