<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2156978, member: 71723&quot;]The reason the 1916-D dimes are tough in MS but the Philly and San Francisco aren&#039;t is because collecting by mint mark pretty much started after 1916. Date sets were the style, not date and mint mark. When the mint mark fascination happened, all collectors could do is grab them out of circulation, and found they weren&#039;t all that easy to find. Remember, silver coins are way softer than clad ones. It didn&#039;t take long in circulation to wear them pretty severely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
