<p>[QUOTE="1916D10C, post: 3169264, member: 97585"]The 1916-D is not a "rare" coin by any means in any grade. It is a joke when people try to tell anyone it is "rare", bla bla bla only 264K minted, etc. However, it is an IMPORTANT coin, a key date, and a famous coin, no matter how you slice it or dice it. The 1917-D is not, and will always be eclipsed by 1916-D in terms of desire. I'm not big on collecting "condition rarities", but that's just me. I fail to see the excitement in collecting a coin for my personal collection that if I remove from the slab and accidentally touch across the face once, I have destroyed $500 of value or more. My focus is on key date Dimes in circulated grades. And yes, I have a bit of an obsession with 1916-D. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
