    It would probably be a Winged Liberty Dime.

    Not a huge amount image It's hard to value a coin without seeing it in hand, or at least a decent picture of it... but, for 1916, Mercs come fairly commonly with fully struck bands... image

    Basically, "full bands" just means that the reverse of the coin has a better strike than a non-full band Mercury dime. Consequently they are worth a premium more than a non-full band dime.

    If you're not familiar with the series, I would proceed with caution in purchasing a dime advertised with full split bands without seeing it in hand.

    If you mean what are they selling for, a quick teletrade search of the last 365 days shows $36-42.

    I think Pharmer hit the nail on the head, and by the way Brett, have you met Laura ?

    Not really sure of the question. There is a Merck on the board of trades I think but not sure if it's been there since 1916. If refering to a winged liberty dime then still what is the question? I noticed the 1916 dime listed in many books call it a Mercury Dime, spelled with a c so you may not be referring to that either. Again, what is the question?????????
