giomilan New Member Italy 7 Posts	Posted 10/17/2012 5:28 pm Hello, In 1970 were issued 4 types of Roosevelt dimes: 1970 without mint 1970-D (Denver) 1970-S (SanFrancisco) 1970 'NO S' Proof - coin error How can I recognize the 1970 "NO S" Proof from the 1970 without mint? chapter 2 I have a Roosevelt dime 1970-D, and on the back instead of writing: E PLU RIB USU NUM my dime is completely missing the 'U' and the result is: E PLU RIB SU NUM...........Is it a kind of coin error? Looking forward to hear from you. Thank's in advance. Best regards Giovanni from Milan - Italy Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 10/17/2012 5:41 pm I am not sure about your first question as I do not collect proofs. But your second coin sounds like a Grease Filled Die. There is no way to be positive without out pictures though. Grease Filled Dies are only worth a premium if a large part of the design is missing. Yours sounds minor and only worth face value. If you collect Dimes and it is in great condition I would keep it. These are all assumptions without seeing the coin. BTW to the forum!

BenjaminsBaby Valued Member United States 250 Posts	Posted 10/17/2012 5:42 pm as far as the proof is concerned I dont think you will be coming across any of those but it will definitely appear to have a mirror type finish on it and the rim will be thicker possibly but it all depends on if it has been circulated at all....as far as your other question I would say it is probably a greased die...pretty common...but pictures would help a lot Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 10/17/2012 8:30 pm The question has pretty much already been answered, but I will reiterate. Any proof coin from that year will have a very obvious mirror finish. The proofs found are generally not cameo proofs, but the fields should exhibit this mirror finish more than the devices by a little bit. Even high grade uncirculated business strikes look completely different. Also, the proof coins missing an 'S' were an extremely rare variety due to mint error. None of us have one so I doubt one made its way over to Italy. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 10/18/2012 01:44 am Might as well also look for the 68,71,75,83 and 90 No S's while proof set hunting. The big one would be the 75 (only a couple known) then the 68 next. Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/28/2012 03:09 am About the proof - I would research the flames on the torch, the proof is different than the general circulation strike. That information is in the strike it rich 3rd edition, page 179. There are no known values at this point, there may be many more of these than anyone expected there to be in circulation but this is a valid error coin. I have 1 - the 1970d. I believe I had posted a pic of this a few months back. Report this Post to the Staff
