Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Early strike of the 1916 Mercury dime. These coins were not released to circulation due to production problems, and the design was altered before final release. All coins with this exact design were melted except for a small number, only one is known. However, it was illustrated in the Mint Director's report for 1916, which is how we can identify the one known piece. |
