![]() 1916-D Mercury Dime 2.50 grams; .900 silver; 17.9 mm |
1916-D is worth up to thousands of dollars if it is in relatively fine condition. However, many 1916 dimes have been altered with the D mintmark added, so buyers should be extremely careful. Many coins in the Mercury series exhibit striking defects, most notably the fact that the line separating the two horizontal bands in the center of the fasces is often missing, in whole or in part; the 1945 issue of the Philadelphia Mint hardly ever appears with this line complete from left to right, and as a result, such coins are worth more than usual for uncirculated specimens. A valuable variety is an overdate, where 1942 was stamped over a 1941 die at the Philadelphia mint. A less obvious example from the same year is from the Denver mint. Of particular interest to numismatists is the condition of the horizontal bands tying together the bundle on the fasces, on the coin's reverse. On well-struck examples, separation exists within the two sets of bands (known as Full Split Bands). Coins exhibiting this feature are typically valued higher than those without it . . ." — Dime (United States coin) at Wikipedia. This version was edited and (or) revised by Mintmark.com.
