1916-D Mercury Dime. MS-65 FB (PCGS). CAC. This beautifully toned Gem exhibits streaks and swirls of cobalt blue and rose-apricot iridescence on the obverse. Similar colors are seen in a target-like distribution on the reverse, joined by olive-gold iridescence at the border. Lustrous, sharply struck and visually appealing, this is an outstanding 1916-D dime. It is a testament to the D. Brent Pogue Collection that there are two extraordinary Full Bands examples of this key date in the Mercury dime series. From our (Stacks) Keusch, Snow & Del Zorro Collections sale, November 2008, lot 3365.
