1916 Dime

Posted onby admin

History of the 1916 Mercury Dime 1916 was the first year of production for the Mercury dime, and, as first years often are, it was fraught with setbacks and design difficulties. 1916-D dimes typically are well struck, with good luster and only occasional weakness in their central portions. Thus, most certified Mint State pieces have Full Bands (FB), these being the horizontal pair at the center of the fasces.

The Mint made the first dimes in 1796. They were small silver coins. The designs from 1796 to 1837 showed Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. In 1837, a wreath design replaced the eagle. Liberty, in various forms, stayed on the dime until 1946. From 1916 to 1945, the Mint produced the “Mercury” dime designed by Adolph A.
