1968 No "S" Roosevelt Dime Proof Set

You can tell (besides it is not in the hard plastic case the proof sets come in) the plastic token says "Uncirculated Mint Set" right on it. The plastic set will have Proof Set on it's case as well.

Too bad it's not a no S dime in an 1968 proof set! My first foray into coin collecting was with a friend that had a 1913 Liberty nickle handed down from his grandfather. We lived in Denver, about 50 miles away from the ANA so he took me with him to have it looked at - of course it was fake, as there are only 5, 1913 Liberty nickels known to have been struck. And all but one at that time were in known collections. Oh well, he may not have become a millionaire that day. While we were there we got a little tour of the ANA and I was fascinated with the museum and all the coins on display. I already had a small box of strange coins, like wheat cents, Canadian cents, Ike dollars, etc. so began my love of coins, I dug into that little collection box as soon as I got home. THen on to ordering a 14 lb. bag of wheat cents, some coin magazines and a RedBook, haven't looked back, within 4 years I was working my first job at the local coin shop after school and on Saturday.

Hi I also have a 1968 dime with no mint mark.

Your dime is a perfectly normal business strike minted in Philadelphia which did not use a mintmark until 1980. The No "S" dimes are proof-only issues and you will not find one in circulation. They were minted specially for collectors and you will only find one in a Proof Set(hard plastic case).
