At long last, a decent picture of my 1916-D dime in NGC MS-67FB.

Of course, Mark Goodman can do it better but these pictures are not bad at all.

These pictures do represent my preference for nicely toned coins as long as they are dated 1917 and before. Personally, I always liked this dime more than the Bill Dominick 1916-D dime in PCGS MS-67FB because I felt it was too dark and "moody" looking. This coin has pizzazz and life to it and is unquestionably 100% original.

True, ownership adds a grade to the coin. LOL.

I have enjoyed this dime for over 12 years and it has been an awesome ride this this lady! Even my wife has not been jealous!

    grip:

    I never tried to cross it to PCGS. The PCGS pop is 6/0 and NGC is 2/0. If it were to cross then it would make it PCGS 7/0 and NGC 1/0 and then I would lose the older NGC slab.

    Thank GOD someone has a killer example of this coin. I know its a popular coin and a real pricey one at that, but most I see are crap and not deserving of a second look. The op's made me come back to this thread 3 times already today alone.

    Killer coin, and the color is just enough to call it a toner to me. image

    Very nice oreville.................so that is what big boys toys look like, sweet!


    I would think a coin like that would only be intrusted to Mark to work his magic. The pic looks a bit mushy to me.

    oreville, that is a super coin. Thanks for posting it. What I like about coins like that one is the "no-question" originality.

    Have you seen any of the other 67FBs besides the Dominick example?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    I'm guessing it was from Parrino, so it was either high or didn't matter. image

    You know, after looking at perhaps 25-30 auction catalogs, I come to the conclusion, this 16-D is probably the nicest Ive seen. Granted Im only getting to view an image, the coin looks hands down like one of the very best, if not the best out there.

    This is a 16-D for the ages regardless of what plastic it resides in. A truly beautiful coin.

    This coin speaks so lodly of quality, I do not think that

    it really matters what holder it is in as long as it is one of
