DESCRIPTION & COMMENTS
A truly standout example of the iconic first-year Mercury Dime, this 1916 issue is housed in an NGC holder and further validated with a coveted CAC green sticker—confirming premium quality for the grade. The coin exhibits radiant, high-end mint luster with a brilliant, nearly chrome-like sheen that immediately captures attention. Surfaces appear exceptionally clean for the grade, with minimal distractions and a strong, consistent frost that enhances the overall eye appeal.

Strike quality is a major highlight here, as evidenced by the coveted Full Bands (FB) designation. The fasces on the reverse shows crisp horizontal band separation, and Liberty’s hair detail on the obverse is sharply rendered. This is a coin that checks all the boxes for collectors seeking an early Mercury Dime with strong technical merit and undeniable visual presence—further elevated by CAC endorsement.
