1916-D AG original by wear. There is a significant gouge on the obv at K6 and a smaller one at K9 w/ corresponding marks on the rev. The gouges occurred long ago and have blended into the coin's color and wear pattern perfectly. Not that it matters much, but of the four mintmark positions for genuine 1916-D dimes, the placement and mintmark shape on the present offering is consistent w/ die #4. Of historical note, the 1916 production of Mercury Dimes did not start until the 4th quarter. That would have limited production in any event. But further, the Denver Mint received an unusually large order for quarter dollars (4 million) in late November of that year. This required the superintendent of the Denver Mint to suspend the production of all other denominations but the quarter to fulfill this emergency need. (This is the reason for the large production of 1916-D Barber Quarters.) By the time production of dimes at Denver resumed, the 1917-D dies were on hand and were used for all subsequent issues. Thus, the 1916-D was minted only to the extent of 264,000 pieces. Though there are several Barber coins whose mintages are lower (in some cases far lower) than that of the 1916-D Mercury Dime, its perennial popularity, as well as that of the Mercury Dime series in general, have kept the demand and market value of this issue rather high for decades. As early as 1940, dealers were offering "uncirculated" 1916-D dimes for $10 - a sharp contrast to the 85¢ price for a 1916-P, and a mere 60¢ for the 1916-S. (Image)
