As others have said this is just a regular dime. The "s" mint mark refers to coins minted in San Fransisco and are "proof" coins,

to the forum teelow. Sorry, but no. Your dime is basically the same as the one above. If you look at the blue tab inserted into the package, you will see that it is from the Philadelphia mint also. But, keep bringing them, you never know unless you ask! |

This reminds me of the Counterfeit 1921 WL I found in a roll, the OBVIOUS reason I knew it was counterfeit, was it DID have a "p" mm on the reverse, the problem was the Philly mint didn't stamp a mm on coins minted in Philly, if it had of beena geniune, it would've been blank

Luckily for us there are some bad counterfeiters out there, but that's just sad!

More than likely, it was a chinese fake, not only was the mm off, also the weight, and the color was a dark gray, the whole coin looks bad
