1916-D Mercury Dime Good-6 PCGS

---

The 1916 Denver Mint dime represents one of the most famous and sought-after entries in twentieth-century American coinage. Out of the entire Mercury Dime series, this specific issue stands out due to its incredibly low mintage of only 264,000 pieces. Finding one of these silver coins today, even in a heavily circulated state, is a notable event for any numismatic enthusiast. Struck from 90 percent silver, this ten-cent piece carries the classic design elements that defined a new era of American currency. The obverse features the winged depiction of Liberty, accompanied by the inscription IN GOD WE TRUST and the date 1916. On the reverse, the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DIME surround the central design, alongside the traditional motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. This particular specimen has been certified in Good-6 condition by a professional grading service, preserving its status as a genuine survivor from the very first year of the Mercury design. The small D mint mark on the reverse confirms its origin at the Denver Mint, a tiny detail that makes a massive difference in the history of this classic silver coin.
