<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 7724094, member: 19855&quot;]The story begins in late 1915 when the director of the mint stopped Denver from making dimes in 1916 to fill a massive order for the Barber Quarters. By the time the Denver got the dies, fitted them with the D mint mark, and started production of the dimes, it was December 29, 1916. Only a couple days to make those dimes compared to all year with the other two mints. Needless to say, product was limited. </p><p><br /></p><p>Add national attention...there was none! People didn&#039;t collect by date and mint mark, so having a 1916 dime was enough. Popularity with this type of collecting didn&#039;t peak by 1930&#039;s. The 1916 D dime was circulating for nearly 20 years since this time and was quite worn. Sort of adds a perfect storm for why so few were produced/saved in comparison.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
