Not trying to be mean but you can pick a proof dime up for like 2 dollars on ebay. So if you wanted one you should check it out. Just don't buy too many proof coins.
That's still a nice roosie, that'd be upgrading my 2003 d in my circulated set at least...if not go into a 2x2 for safe keeping for my uncirculated Roosevelt dime set once I get around to it.
Unfortunately, It is not a proof dime and never was. But I can understand how & why you had questioned it at the time. I've done that countless times in the past when I was still a novice at collecting coins. May next time you'll get lucky! Good luck...
Very cool find! Although not a "S" proof mint mark, I have also noticed that I see close to AU or proof-like Roosevelt dimes often, more so than other coin types. There is just something about current year dimes in circulation with a great shine for a period of time. This is certainly an inexpensive way to build a proof-like collection.
