They were also leaving behind old ones, like the Barber Dime. It was chaos back then! During this chaos, one mercury dime was becoming rare.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #222222"><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana">This circular metal disk I’m talking about is the 1916-D Mercury Dime. For a while, this coin was a real sought after coin. But, why is it so famous? You see, it was made in lower mintages, less than the 1909-S VDB Wheat Penny; another worldwide known rarity. It was also not hoarded a lot by people, unlike other coins in later years. Even dealers didn&#039;t hoard them, even if the coin had a low mintage. What caused the low mintage for this coin? It is unknown, but it was probably because it was real busy in the mint, they were minting the other new beautiful coins in the same year. But whatever the reason, it is now a coin everybody wants, even in low grades, almost 100 years later! People regretted they didn’t hoard them, since this is now a true rarity worth a lot of dough. So make sure you see how many coins they make each year, you might become rich!</font></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
