Dasaki Pillar of the Community United States 500 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 04:38 am So I pulled this out of the change machine at work and upon closer examination when I got home, Rosie's head seems to have a frostier look than the rest of the coin. But it's a tad worn for me to say either way, and the frost is kind of hard to see from these scans. Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5186 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 08:34 am I might be mistaken, but I think in that period proofs were still made at the Philadelphia mint, weren't they? If so, this 1954-S coin can't possibly be a proof. Sorry. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverTracker Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 12:49 pm Hi Dasalo, Here is an excerpt from a Roosevelt dime website. " The first proof Roosevelt dimes were struck in 1950, when the production of proof coinage resumed at the Philadelphia Mint. Annual proof sets were offered for sale to collectors from 1950 to 1964, containing one example of each denomination, including the dime " Even though its not a proof it is still 90% silver and a great find.
