Lot 1309
1916. NGC graded MS-68 Full Bands. Star. A frosty white Superb Gem. Both the Philadelphia and San Francisco Mints coined fairly large quantities of the new dimes during the first months of 1916. The output of the Denver Mint was curtailed, as that facility struggled to meet an extreme demand for quarter dollars. All the same, it is a privilege for us to offer one of only 2 such examples graded by NGC in MS68 Full Bands. Swimming in mint brilliance over each side of this sharply made Gem the fields and devices are a blizzard of whiteness. Both the peripheries and the central reverse are also impressive for their sharpness of strike, and the frosty textured surfaces are unlike those of 1917 and later on the 1916 issue. Pop 2; none finer at NGC .
Estimated Value $3,300 - 3,500.
