2016 W Mercury Dime SP70 1/10oz Gold $3790 This 2016-W Winged Liberty Head Gold Centennial Coin is a stunning tribute to Adolph A. Weinman's classic 1916 Mercury Dime design, released by the West Point Mint to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the original series. Struck in 1/10 oz of .9999 fine 24-karat gold, this specimen has been graded a perfect SP70 by NGC, indicating it is a flawless specimen strike with full original luster and no visible imperfections even under 5x magnification. This specific coin features the desirable Early Releases designation, certifying it was received by the grading service within the first 30 days of issue, and is housed in a specialty 100th Anniversary label holder. This commemorative issue had a limited mintage of only 125,000 pieces, making it a highly sought-after modern rarity that bridges the gap between numismatic history and precious metal investment. The obverse showcases the iconic figure of Liberty in a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, while the reverse depicts a Roman fasces and an olive branch, representing strength and peace. Condition: This coin is in flawless specimen condition, graded SP70 by NGC, indicating it has no visible imperfections even under 5x magnification. It was struck at the West Point Mint, as evidenced by the W mint mark, and is composed of 1/10 troy ounce of 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold. Issued for the 100th anniversary of Adolph A. Weinman's iconic 1916 Winged Liberty Head design, it carries significant historical weight as part of the Centennial Gold Series. Its strike type is a Specimen (SP) finish, characterized by a smooth, satin-like appearance that distinguishes it from standard business or proof strikes. The collector value is high due to the perfect grade, the Early Releases designation, and a limited original mintage of 125,000 units, though the current market value for this specific grade typically ranges between $350 and $450, making the $3790 price point significantly above standard market levels. 2016 W 10C, Mercury Dime, 24K Gold, 1/10 oz Gold, SP 70, NGC Graded, Early Releases, 100th Anniversary, Heritage Coins, Gold Coin, Numismatic, Bullion, Specimen Finish, Centenary Issue, Winged Liberty Head 2016-W Gold Mercury Dime, 100th Anniversary Gold Coin, NGC SP70 Early Releases, 24K Gold 1/10 oz Coin, Walking Liberty Centennial, Numismatic Gold Coins, US Mint Gold Dime, Heritage Coins, Rare Gold Coins, Investment Grade Bullion Bidder is fully responsible for: - Determining what an item is worth to you - Evaluating the condition and authenticity of items - Making informed bidding decisions -BIDDER/BUYER To Determine items Condition, Completeness, Authenticity, and Grade. - Fulfillment of contract of bid, understands there is no refunds, or chargebacks items are "As Is" The auction house does explicitly not: - Provide appraisals - Grade items - Authenticate items - Test items - Third-Party Grading is that of the 3rd party and not done by us
