Hi Doug,

In March of 2003 A 1916 PCGS PR66RD sold at auction for $20,700. In todays enviorment I could see a nice example selling in excess of $50K. JMO

Doug,
Isn't it nice to have one of the 3 1916 PCGS PR66RD sitting in YOUR Set Registry right now?

Another thing to note about the 1916 in Red designations at PCGS. Across the board it has the lowest population in total coins graded in Red.

#1 (1916 all grades Red 27 ) 3 1916's are graded PR66RD with none higher

#2 (1909 VDB all grades Red 30 ) 2 1909VDB's are graded PR67RD

Cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

p.s. memo to PCGS: looks like the price guide ($3,750) is WAY off on this one

The 1916 MPL's in red are as elusive as a 26-s in red. They are not dull like the S mints (and the 1912 MPL), but they toned fast most likely due to the mint packaging for that year. The reason I say that is because most of the "original" 1916's I have seen have toned purple to one degree or another. I don't think I have ever seen a full red 1916, the way you would expect to see "full red." I don't want to get into the old debate over brown vs. toned, but you just will not see a 1916 out there that has good solid red color, unless it has been stripped. Stewart may have seen some, but I haven't. They are as rare as hen's teeth. The one that sold in 2003 was a little faded, but not atypical for 1916.

Mine has a full red reverse and some purple toning on the obverse. It has enough purple on the obverse that PCGS might call it RB if it were any other date, but it is a 1916. It has more original red than I have seen on any other 1916.

Yes Steve I am glad to own it, and VERY glad I bought it years ago and don't have to purchase one at todays prices!

Mrs. Driver saw me ogling this coin and said "Go get a mistress, it'd be cheaper."
