United States 1916-D cent

This date is plentiful in all grades, but rare in high quality MS65RD and above. Sharpness varies due to the use of worn dies and the presence of too much space between dies in the press. Improperly annealed planchets may have been a factor as well. Many sharp examples exist, however, the desirability of which is enhanced by the modified hub this year.
