The 1916 Mercury Dime is one of the most sought-after coins in U.S. numismatics, especially due to its scarce Denver Mint issue.
Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Mercury Dime was minted from 1916 to 1945.
The 1916-D Mercury Dime is the key date in the series, with only 264,000 minted, making it extremely rare.
By comparison, the Philadelphia (P) and San Francisco (S) Mints struck over 22 million and 10 million dimes, respectively.
Check for an authentic D mint mark, as counterfeiters sometimes alter 1916 Philadelphia dimes.
If a 1916-D is too expensive, consider collecting a complete Mercury Dime set minus the 1916-D.
The Winged Liberty Head design is considered one of the most beautiful in U.S. coinage.
The obverse features Liberty in a winged cap, often mistaken for the Roman god Mercury.
