Because of its cost and status as a key date, the 1916-D Mercury Dime attracts a devoted following even in the lowest grades. The Denver Mint struck the entire mintage of 264,000 coins after producing more than 6.5 million dimes with the Barber design. Officials released all of these coins into circulation in November of that year.
The term “circulation” matters here, as population data from CAC, NGC, and PCGS show that most surviving 1916-D dimes exhibit significant wear.
