inventor719 Valued Member Canada 189 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 4:07 pm I was recently at my local coin shop in Ontario looking through the USA coins. This dealer did not put the mint marks on most of the US dimes! I found a 1901 Barber for sale for $2.50 so, I inspected it closer and found an S mintmark on the obverse!! Not till later did I realize that the 1901-S 10 cent is a key date. From now on, I am looking at the coins closer and not always trusting what the 2X2 says. Report this Post to the Staff

Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 7:39 pm Is the mint mark on the side with the wreath that says ONE DIME? Report this Post to the Staff

Arcticsparky Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 8:10 pm Sorry I should have posed that question to inventor719. He said the s was on the obverse. I was just looking to see if maybe it had something funny going on. Report this Post to the Staff
