1916-D Mercury Dime. AU-58 FB (PCGS). From the key issue among circulation strike Mercury dimes comes this exceptionally desirable Choice AU coin. Brilliant on the obverse, the reverse is attractively toned in iridescent golden-apricot. Both sides are near-fully lustrous with a soft, satiny texture that is undisturbed by troublesome blemishes. Striking detail is full with nearly complete detail remaining. For the collector of circulated Mercury dimes, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable example of the famous 1916-D. From the Phil Carrigan Collection.
