1986 American Silver Eagle Bullion Coin : History and Value

Leave a comment

 

1986 American Silver Eagle.

With the American Silver Eagle, the United States Enters the Bullion Coin Business

The American Silver Eagle is a one ounce silver bullion coin, produced by the United States Mint under the authority of the 1985 Liberty Coin Act (Public Law 99-61 – PDF Link).

Congress’s intent for producing the coin was born out of a desire to deplete the Federal Government’s massive silver stockpile, which at the time exceeded 139 million ounces.[1]The Liberty Coin Act called for the Mint to strike .999 fine silver coins measuring 40.6 millimeters in diameter and weighing 31.103 grams. The coin was to feature a design “symbolic of Liberty on the obverse side; and… of an eagle on the reverse side…”[2]

John Mercanti, the former Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint and designer of the American Silver Eagle reverse, says in his 2012 book American Silver Eagles: A Guide to the U.S. Bullion Coin Program that the coin’s obverse design (featuring Adolph Weinman’s “Walking Liberty”) was predetermined – although he didn’t know by whom.[3] Research published later established that the choice to use the Weinman design on the American Silver Eagle, as well as the Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle design on the American Gold Eagle, was made almost immediately as the Mint did not have a sufficient amount of time to develop designs from outside artists.

But even with the convenience of having a classic design ready to use, a series of technical challenges had to be overcome to get the coin to fully strike up, and by the time it was finally ready, 1986 was almost over. The first coins didn’t roll off the press until Secretary of the Treasury James Baker initiated Coin Press 105 at the United States Assay Office in San Francisco at a striking ceremony for the coin held on October 29, 1986.[4] A number of coins were struck for and by VIPs in attendance.

November sales totaled 1,400,000 pieces, and 3,696,000 American Silver Eagles were sold in December.[5]

1986-dated Eagles were produced in two finishes: a bullion strike, which bore no mintmark but was struck exclusively at the San Francisco Mint (a fact the numismatic community did not know until a 2020 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request was fulfilled by the government, leading to a lengthy Coin World feature article by veteran journalist Paul Gilkes); and a Proof issue, which also was struck exclusively at San Francisco but did bear the ‘S’ mintmark.

The 1986 American Silver Eagle: A Popular Collector Coin and a Cautionary Tale of Vanishing Value

The American Silver Eagle is a bullion coin that is both widely held as a commodity and traded as a collectible. As a bullion play, American Silver Eagles from any date are seen as interchangeable. As a collectible, however, the first-year issue 1986 bullion strike is usually offered at a 15-30% premium over generic issues struck throughout the series’ 37-year run. This premium puts the 1986 issue on or near par with the scarcer bullion strike issues of 1995 and 1997.

With a mintage of 5,393,005 pieces, one should not confuse the 1986 American Silver Eagle with a scarce or rare coin. Pay a couple of dollars “numismatic premium” over spot for raw examples that come especially nice. Otherwise, pass.

Certified examples do carry a premium over raw ones and a very interesting story can be told about them.

To understand today’s pricing levels we must first take a step back and look at the certified Silver Eagle scene of 2013-2015.

Through the end of 2013, PCGS and NGC treated the 1986 American Silver Eagle (as well as other 1980s and early ’90s issues) differently. NGC owned a lion’s share of the market and represented in their census report bullion strikes in the grades MS69 and MS70. Some dates were tougher than others, but no dates were prohibitively rare.

PCGS took a different approach. While PCGS’ submission numbers for American Silver Eagles were lower, there were some dates where MS69 was the highest grade that submitters could reasonably expect to earn. So stingy was the PCGS policy pertaining to certifying MS70s that some dates had no MS70 coins, and others had MS70 populations in the single digits.

1986 was one of the latter dates, and for a time, the PCGS population of MS70 coins sat at just three.

In February 2013, Heritage Auctions sold one of those three PCGS MS70 coins for the brain-cracking sum of $21,150 USD. In the NGC white core holder, with a population of just over 1,200, the same coin would sell for about $775. The Heritage sale was not an outlier. Two years later, with the population still at three, GreatCollections sold another 1986 PCGS MS70 coin for $22,000.

Then something changed. In the summer of 2015, PCGS certified 30 Silver Eagles dated 1986 as MS70. The price level dropped to $5,000.

An insider bulk submitter told us on background at the time that the company was now giving out grades that it previously wouldn’t, and that this led to their company increasing the number of bulk submissions that they would give to PCGS. This is not to suggest the PCGS had told him that they would grade coins looser, just that his recent Monster Box submissions were netting a handful of valuable MS70 coins.

The 1986 Silver Eagle wasn’t the only conditional rarity date to see the impact of this seeming shift in direction.

While the service has never explicitly stated that it would not grade American Silver Eagles at 70, we believe that the milk spotting issue may have played a major factor in the company’s dearth of perfect coins.

We also observed, through cert number analysis, that several of the low-pop 70 issues saw the 70-graded coins come in groupings from a handful of submissions. For one date, half of all of the 70s came from one monster box and every coin in that Monster Box was represented after CoinWeek conducted a sequential cert number analysis.

Moving ahead to the present day, we see that PCGS MS70 Silver Eagles from 1986 have advanced to the point where NGC was in the fall of 2014. Current pop data published on PCGS CoinFacts shows 1,763 MS70s. CoinWeek’s market research puts the pricing level of these coins at between $750 and $800.

While we’re not in the habit of patting ourselves on the back when it comes to coin market analysis, we did predict a collapse in the 1986 MS70 price after the 2013 Heritage sale, writing that “[s]afer money could be probably be ‘invested’ elsewhere.” We held firm to that belief even when, in April 2015, GreatCollections sold another example for $22,000. We said the same thing about the record-breaking 1995-W American Silver Eagle, which we called a “burial coin” (the owner would be “buried” in it at that level).

Now that we see a sustainable yield for MS69 and MS70 coins from both services, we believe that prices for PCGS- and NGC-certified Silver Eagles will approach equilibrium. NGC maintains a clear lead on the number of submissions, due in large part to long-term relationships they have developed with major submitters of modern bullion material.

The 1986 American Silver Eagle and the Phantom “S” Mintmark Designation

Since the 2020 disclosure mentioned above that all Uncirculated strike American Silver Eagles came from the San Francisco Mint, the grading services have allowed submitters to market coins with the parenthetic “(S)” label. Coins in those holders are no different than the rest of the certified population. They do not warrant a special premium for the notation.

Design

Obverse:

Adolph A. Weinman’s Lady Liberty is depicted mid stride. She is seen as a full-body figure, dressed in a flowing gown, and draped with a large billowing American flag. She holds laurel and oak branches in her left hand that symbolize the civil and military glories of America, respectively. As Liberty strides confidently towards the rising sun, she also reaches out and presents a welcoming and open hand. So large is Lady Liberty that she is superimposed over the obverse legend “LIBERTY” ringing the obverse – in fact, she obscures half of the “BE” and almost the entire “R”. Above Liberty’s outstretched rear foot is IN GOD WE TRUST and below her is the date (1986).

The design bears a notable resemblance to sculptor Oscar Roty’s The Sower, a common image on French coins. Numismatist Roger Burdette posited in his book Renaissance of American Coinage (2007) that this was not a coincidence and while Adolph Weinman did not directly copy, he did derive significant inspiration from Roty’s work. Weinman’s Liberty Walking design quickly became one of America’s most iconic numismatic images and would be used with minor modifications on the American Silver Eagle bullion coin starting in 1986.

Reverse:

John Mercanti’s Heraldic Eagle is positioned at the center of the reverse. Clutched in its beak is a ribbon that bears the motto: E PLURIBUS UNUM. Above its head, is a constellation of thirteen stars configured in an upside-down pyramid formation. Wrapping around the design is the legend (top): UNITED STATES OF AMERICA; and the fineness and denomination (bottom): 1 OZ. FINE SILVER. ONE DOLLAR.

Edge:

The edge of the 1986 American Silver Eagle bullion coin is reeded.

1974 Lincoln Memorial Cent : A Collector’s Guide | CoinWeek

Leave a comment

1974-D Lincoln Cent. Image: CoinWeek.

1974 was an interesting year in the annals of numismatic history. The country was putting the finishing touches on its planned Bicentennial celebrations. The United States Mint was gearing up to produce a range of commemorative coins and medals to mark the occasion. The year would also mark the final Blue and Brown Pack silver-clad Ike dollar issues and the Mint was hard at work contemplating the future of the country’s longest-serving denomination, the cent.

From 1971 to 1974, cent production increased dramatically, exacerbating a trend that began in the mid-1960s when the Mint transitioned from silver to clad coinage. Cent demand was so high by the late 1960s, that the Mint resumed production of circulating cent coinage at the San Fransico Assay Office in 1968. By 1974, demand for cents had gotten so high, that the Mint began to use the West Point Bullion Depository to strike cents as well. By the end of the year, West Point would contribute 128,957,523 cents toward Philadelphia’s reported mintage of 4,232,140,523. The West Point cents carry no mintmark and as far as we know, cannot be differentiated from coins struck at Philadelphia.

If original unopened mint bags of 1974 cents are ever located and can be traced to the facility, we would expect these coins to bring significant premiums over their Philadelphia Mint counterparts and that the third party certification industry would identify the coins as 1974 (W).

Complicating matters was a trend of volatility in the copper market.

Copper prices rose by 43% from 1969 to 1970, before erasing most of those gains by the start of ’71. From 1971 to ’74, however, copper prices rose year to year reaching almost 86 cents a pound at the start of ’74.

To address this issue, the Mint began to investigate ways to lower the cost of cent production, settling on a 96% aluminum alloy as a possible replacement to bronze.

In total, the Mint struck approximately 1.5 million 1974-dated aluminum cents at the end of 1973. On March 27, the coins were reviewed by the Consumer Affairs subcommittee of the House of Representatives. After extended deliberation and pressure from the vending industry, Congress rejected the aluminum alloy, but did, on October 11, authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to reduce the amount of copper in the cent. By the end of 1974, copper prices receded to an acceptable level and the bronze alloy remained in use through the remainder of the decade.

In 1982, the issue would be revisited and a new alloy made of copper-plated zinc would replace the bronze cent.

How Much is the 1974 Lincoln Cent Worth?

Uncirculated Brown or Muted Red (Red Brown) Philly business strikes in high Mint State (above MS-65) can sell for anywhere from $10 to $15. Unless these coins are spectacularly toned, these coins have no foreseeable upside and should be avoided as a sufficient number of vibrant red examples survive.

In full Mint State Red, MS65 examples have a value of between $10 and $20. The value of the 1974 Lincoln cent edges up by a few dollars in MS66 Red. Our expected value of a coin in this grade is between $20 and $30. These prices are more or less equivalent to the cost of submitting the coin for grading. 1974 cents have a larger premium in MS67 Red. One excellent example was sold in March 2020 at a David Lawrence Rare Coins online auction for $90.

PCGS and NGC report a combined population of just two coins in MS68 Red (one each). With no public data available, it is a fool’s errand to try to ascertain a price for either of these pieces. But at just half a grade down, in MS67+ Red, two recent Legend Rare Coin Auctions results of $911 each suggest that a top pop 1974 Lincoln cent would easily realize a price exceeding $1,000 at auction.

As for the value of the priceless 1974 Aluminum cent patterns? This is a question we are asked quite frequently at CoinWeek. It is nearly impossible to quantify how unlikely it is that an authentic example heretofore unknown by the numismatic community would turn up, but it is possible. Of the 1.5 million examples struck, 11 are believed to be outstanding, and of that 11 only two are known.

One is currently on display at the Smithsonian Institution’s Value of Money Exhibit and is permanently impounded in the National Numismatic Collection, a donation of the United States Mint. The second example was discovered in 1973, reportedly by Albert Toven, a U.S. Capitol police officer. According to the story, the coin was dropped by a government official after a Congressional hearing on the efficacy of replacing the bronze alloy with an aluminum alloy. When Toven offered it back to the official, the official told Toven he could keep it.

This story has been published and repeated multiple times throughout the years but has all of the earmarks of a cover story. One told to “legalize” the private ownership of a pattern coin that was not officially released to the public. This example remains in private hands and was authenticated by PCGS in October 2005 and given the grade MS62. The value of this example likely exceeds six figures, but given its legally questionable status, a potential buyer would be advised to exercise caution when making an offer, or placing a bid as a protracted legal fight over the status of a privately-held 1974-D aluminum cent resulted in the coin being returned to the government.

Design

Obverse:

The obverse of the 1974 Lincoln cent was designed by Victor David Brenner and appears largely as it did when the type was first minted in 1909. The main difference on the 1974 obverse versus the 1909 version is the location of Brenners’ initials, V.D.B., which were added under Lincoln’s bust in 1918 after their removal from the reverse in late 1909. The date, 1974, appears to the right of Lincoln, and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appears above the president.  On the left of the 16th president is the word LIBERTY.

Reverse:

Frank Gasparro designed the 1959 Lincoln Memorial reverse that replaced the original 1909 Brenner wheat stalk design. Gasparro’s initials FG appear on the lower-right side of the Lincoln Memorial. Below the edifice and along the rim are the words ONE CENT, while the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA run along the top half of the reverse along the rim. Between the top of the Lincoln Memorial and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA inscription is the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM.

Edge:

The edge of the 1974 Lincoln cent is plain or smooth, without reeding or lettering.

2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin : A Collector’s Guide

What Is the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin?

In 1916, Americans were introduced to three iconic U.S. coin designs: the Mercury or Winged Liberty dime, the Walking Liberty half dollar, and the Standing Liberty quarter. To mark the centennial of the release of these three coins, the United States Mint issued new versions of each in 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold struck at the West Point Mint. Each coin was reworked using state-of-the-art digital design tools and features the date “2016” on the obverse. The reverse of each centennial coin also denotes the coin’s weight and composition.

The 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial gold coin was released on April 21, 2016. It was struck in an Uncirculated finish so as to resemble the 1916 dime. Its diameter (16.50 mm) is close to that of a regular Mercury dime (17.90 mm) despite containing one-tenth of an ounce of gold – a symbolic nod to the dime’s 10-cent denomination.

Besides describing some of the differences between the new coin and the original, the following video provides a 4K hands-on experience with a “perfect” example certified by NGC as SP70.

A Brief History of the Mercury (Winged Liberty) Dime

The original Winged Liberty dime entered circulation at the end of October 1916 and remained in production for nearly 30 years. Alongside the Walking Liberty half dollar and Standing Liberty quarter, it joined the Indian Head (Buffalo) nickel, the Lincoln cent, the Indian $2.50 quarter eagle and $5 half eagle gold coins, and the Saint-Gaudens $10 eagle and $20 double eagle gold coins in circulation.

It was truly a golden age of U.S. coin design.

Adolph Weinman’s elegant design for the Mercury dime drew heavily from the French Beaux Arts movement of the late 19th century. Its release immediately preceded the Roosevelt dime (1946-Present), and it was the last U.S. dime to be struck entirely in .900 silver.

Heralded for its beauty, the Winged Liberty dime–often referred to as the Mercury dime due to its classically inspired headgear–saw the country through both World Wars and the Great Depression. Its unmistakable design was attached to both the March of Dimes anti-polio campaign and countless Charles Atlas advertisements found in the back of comic books and magazines. When “Yip” Harburg wrote the song “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”, it was the Mercury dime he was talking about.

The dime’s use in circulation carried on without incident. The design didn’t have the striking problems of the Buffalo nickel or the Walking Liberty half. Although specialists might seek out perfectly struck examples with Full Split Bands on the reverse (scarce for some issues), the Mercury dime is remembered as an elegant and practical coin; a successful coin that served its purpose and elevated the image of American money.

The Mercury dime’s term of service came to an unexpected end when, on April 12, 1945, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt died. Frail and aged beyond his 63 years, Roosevelt suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage while on vacation in Georgia. His death reverberated throughout America and the world.

Almost immediately, a movement began to honor Roosevelt on a circulating coin. The dime was the obvious choice as the denomination recalled both Franklin’s battle with polio and his work with the March of Dimes, and on May 17, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, Jr. announced that the Winged Liberty design would be replaced by a new design featuring the portrait of the late president.

So with that, the stellar 30-year run of the Winged Liberty or Mercury Head dime came to an end. Steadily, the coins in circulation wore down, Mint State examples were hoarded, rare dates and varieties were cherrypicked, and by the time silver coins exited the scene in the mid to late 1960s, only the most worn examples continued to circulate.

Release, Sellout, and Re-Release of the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin

As stated earlier, the 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coin was released on April 21, 2016. Priced at $205 USD according to the Mint’s pricing schedule for gold and platinum products at the time, it had a mintage limit of 125,000 pieces and an initial order limit of 10 coins per household. Each piece was sealed in a circular capsule and came with an elegant, custom-designed black-matte hardwood presentation case and a Certificate of Authenticity.

Within 15 minutes of the coin’s noon Eastern Time release on the Mint’s website, the order status had already been changed to “Backorder”. Less than an hour after its release, the 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coin was listed as “Unavailable” by 12:45 PM. This meant that all available inventory had been allotted to fill customer orders and was not quite the same as a complete lack of the entire authorized mintage.

But like any other product, some of these orders were soon canceled, either by the Mint (payment failed to process, bad account information, etc.) or by customers themselves. According to CoinWeek’s news coverage, the Mint reported sales of 122,510 coins out of the 125,000 total mintage by Sunday, April 24. And after customers had time to receive their coins in the mail, returns began to come back. Because of these factors, the Mint still had 8,889 pieces by the middle of the year.

Frustratingly for collectors, however, the Mint did not make these available for purchase and had no set plans to do so. Adding to collector anxiety was the fact that the Mint’s pricing schedule was subject to change, and every additional week of delay meant that the price could be much higher than it was upon initial release (it could also have been lower, but that is beside the point).

It wasn’t until the end of the year that the U.S. Mint announced the resumption of sales of the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial gold coin on December 15. After being criticised for the original order limit of 10 per “household”–an arrangement that many felt favored dealers and bulk buyers at the expense of regular collectors–the Mint sold these final coins at one per household.

A final total mintage of 124,885 was eventually reported – 115 less than the maximum.

Certified Populations of the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin in Today’s Market

Since it began grading and authenticating U.S. coins in June 2023, CAC has yet to certify any 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coins.

Categorized as an Anniversary Coin, NGC reports a total of 27,709 certified grading events at the time of publication. The top pop grade of Specimen 70 (SP70) accounts for most of them, with 24,839 examples. Two thousand, eight hundred and fifty-five coins are listed as SP69, 11 are graded SP68, and three are reported at SP67. This kind of top-heavy certified population pyramid is seen with modern collector coin issues that are bought in bulk with the express purpose of grading and immediately reselling them – i.e., “flipping”.

The auction record for any 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial gold coin is $2,000 for a specimen certified NGC Genuine that was sold in November 2019 on eBay.

As far as NGC-certified SP70s go, Stack’s Bowers sold an example for $384 in June 2023, but prices from 2022 average to about $400.
Prices for the same grade in 2021 average to around $350. And looking at auction records from 2020, when more NGC examples were sold than PCGS specimens, the average price for an NGC SP70 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coin is almost $320. Appreciation in the secondary market appears steady, with premiums gaining on $200 over the initial retail price – a doubling of value over seven years.

Also at the time of publication, PCGS has graded a total of 31,984 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coins. The vast majority of those coins–28,958–achieved a perfect grade of SP70. The numbers drop exponentially as we go down to “merely” Gem quality, with 3,001 reported at SP69, 22 listed at SP68, and two given for SP67. PCGS categorizes the gold Mercury dime, the gold Standing Liberty quarter, and the gold Walking Liberty half dollar as the 2016 Centennial Series.

PCGS-certified SP70 examples have tended to fare slightly better than those graded by NGC in recent public sales. Most of the gold Mercury Dimes sold in 2023 so far have been in PCGS holders, and those prices average to over $420. The year 2022 saw auction lots more evenly split between PCGS and NGC, and PCGS prices averaged to a little over $400. PCGS SP70 specimens sold for an average of $370 in 2021, and almost $340 the year prior. The pricing trend is almost identical to that of NGC-certified SP70s, with just a slight bump (~$20) in premium.

US Modern Coin Profiles – 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin

What Is the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin?

In 1916, Americans were introduced to three iconic U.S. coin designs: the Mercury or Winged Liberty dime, the Walking Liberty half dollar, and the Standing Liberty quarter. To mark the centennial of the release of these three coins, the United States Mint issued new versions of each in 24-karat (.9999 fine) gold struck at the West Point Mint. Each coin was reworked using state-of-the-art digital design tools and features the date “2016” on the obverse. The reverse of each centennial coin also denotes the coin’s weight and composition.

The 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial gold coin was released on April 21, 2016. It was struck in an Uncirculated finish so as to resemble the 1916 dime. Its diameter (16.50 mm) is close to that of a regular Mercury dime (17.90 mm) despite containing one-tenth of an ounce of gold – a symbolic nod to the dime’s 10-cent denomination.

Besides describing some of the differences between the new coin and the original, the following video provides a 4K hands-on experience with a “perfect” example certified by NGC as SP70.

A Brief History of the Mercury (Winged Liberty) Dime

The original Winged Liberty dime entered circulation at the end of October 1916 and remained in production for nearly 30 years. Alongside the Walking Liberty half dollar and Standing Liberty quarter, it joined the Indian Head (Buffalo) nickel, the Lincoln cent, the Indian $2.50 quarter eagle and $5 half eagle gold coins, and the Saint-Gaudens $10 eagle and $20 double eagle gold coins in circulation.

It was truly a golden age of U.S. coin design.

Adolph Weinman’s elegant design for the Mercury dime drew heavily from the French Beaux Arts movement of the late 19th century. Its release immediately preceded the Roosevelt dime (1946-Present), and it was the last U.S. dime to be struck entirely in .900 silver.

Its unmistakable design was attached to both the March of Dimes anti-polio campaign and countless Charles Atlas advertisements found in the back of comic books and magazines. When “Yip” Harburg wrote the song “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?”, it was the Mercury dime he was talking about.

So with that, the stellar 30-year run of the Winged Liberty or Mercury Head dime came to an end. Steadily, the coins in circulation wore down, Mint State examples were hoarded, rare dates and varieties were cherrypicked, and by the time silver coins exited the scene in the mid to late 1960s, only the most worn examples continued to circulate.

Within 15 minutes of the coin’s noon Eastern Time release on the Mint’s website, the order status had already been changed to “Backorder”. Less than an hour after its release, the 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coin was listed as “Unavailable” by 12:45 PM. This meant that all available inventory had been allotted to fill customer orders and was not quite the same as a complete lack of the entire authorized mintage.

But like any other product, some of these orders were soon canceled, either by the Mint (payment failed to process, bad account information, etc.) or by customers themselves. According to CoinWeek’s news coverage, the Mint reported sales of 122,510 coins out of the 125,000 total mintage by Sunday, April 24. And after customers had time to receive their coins in the mail, returns began to come back. Because of these factors, the Mint still had 8,889 pieces by the middle of the year.

Frustratingly for collectors, however, the Mint did not make these available for purchase and had no set plans to do so. Adding to collector anxiety was the fact that the Mint’s pricing schedule was subject to change, and every additional week of delay meant that the price could be much higher than it was upon initial release (it could also have been lower, but that is beside the point).

It wasn’t until the end of the year that the U.S. Mint announced the resumption of sales of the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial gold coin on December 15. After being criticised for the original order limit of 10 per “household”–an arrangement that many felt favored dealers and bulk buyers at the expense of regular collectors–the Mint sold these final coins at one per household.

A final total mintage of 124,885 was eventually reported – 115 less than the maximum.

Certified Populations of the 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin in Today’s Market

Since it began grading and authenticating U.S. coins in June 2023, CAC has yet to certify any 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coins.

Categorized as an Anniversary Coin, NGC reports a total of 27,709 certified grading events at the time of publication. The top pop grade of Specimen 70 (SP70) accounts for most of them, with 24,839 examples. Two thousand, eight hundred and fifty-five coins are listed as SP69, 11 are graded SP68, and three are reported at SP67. This kind of top-heavy certified population pyramid is seen with modern collector coin issues that are bought in bulk with the express purpose of grading and immediately reselling them – i.e., “flipping”.

The auction record for any 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial gold coin is $2,000 for a specimen certified NGC Genuine that was sold in November 2019 on eBay.

As far as NGC-certified SP70s go, Stack’s Bowers sold an example for $384 in June 2023, but prices from 2022 average to about $400.
Prices for the same grade in 2021 average to around $350. And looking at auction records from 2020, when more NGC examples were sold than PCGS specimens, the average price for an NGC SP70 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coin is almost $320. Appreciation in the secondary market appears steady, with premiums gaining on $200 over the initial retail price – a doubling of value over seven years.

Also at the time of publication, PCGS has graded a total of 31,984 2016-W Mercury Dime gold coins. The vast majority of those coins–28,958–achieved a perfect grade of SP70. The numbers drop exponentially as we go down to “merely” Gem quality, with 3,001 reported at SP69, 22 listed at SP68, and two given for SP67. PCGS categorizes the gold Mercury dime, the gold Standing Liberty quarter, and the gold Walking Liberty half dollar as the 2016 Centennial Series.

PCGS-certified SP70 examples have tended to fare slightly better than those graded by NGC in recent public sales. Most of the gold Mercury Dimes sold in 2023 so far have been in PCGS holders, and those prices average to over $420. The year 2022 saw auction lots more evenly split between PCGS and NGC, and PCGS prices averaged to a little over $400. PCGS SP70 specimens sold for an average of $370 in 2021, and almost $340 the year prior. The pricing trend is almost identical to that of NGC-certified SP70s, with just a slight bump (~$20) in premium.

Design

Obverse:

Drawn from Adolph A. Weinman’s original design, but not identical. The 2016 version features Liberty (of Thought) facing to the left. A winged cap adorns her head, tufts of hair curl around the base of the pileus cap on her forehead and behind her ear. A braid of hair wraps around the base of her neck. LIBERTY wraps around the top of the coin with letters spaced apart.

The letters E and R are partially obstructed by Liberty’s cap. The designer’s initials (W surmounting A) for “Adolph Weinman” appears behind Liberty’s neck below and to the left of the Y in LIBERTY. The date “2016” appears below the bust truncation, to the rear. A subtle basin creates a dish-like appearance in the field.

Reverse:

As is the case with the obverse, the reverse is adapted from Weinman. In the center, fasces. An axe blade faces to the left. A curvilinear branch of olive leaves wraps behind the fasces. 2016_gold_merc_revWrapping around the top of the design is the legend: UNITED · STATES · OF · AMERICA. Wrapping around the bottom of the design is the denomination: ONE DIME. Two five-pointed stars separate the legend from the denomination. The W mint mark of the West Point Mint is located to the right of ONE. The motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM” (OUT OF MANY, ONE) appears to the right of the fasces, slightly below center. Below the motto, the coin’s composition and weight is described:  AU 24K (.9999 Fine) 1/10 OZ. The field is slightly dish-like.

Edge:

The 2016-W Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin has reeded edges that resemble the edge reeding on the 1/10th-ounce American Gold Eagle bullion coin. This reeding is more pronounced and precise than the reeding on an original business strike Winged Liberty silver dime.

Bullion Silver Eagles Struck at Multiple Mints From Beginning
