Dhubert New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 4:11 pm Hello. I am very new to coin collecting and I found this dime with no mint mark... Is this worth anything more than 10 cents? Report this Post to the Staff

hoosiergator Valued Member 204 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 4:40 pm No. It just means it was struck at the Philly mint. All US coins from the Philly mint have no mint mark. You are probably alluding to the VERY rare 1975 "No S" dime that today would probably sell for half a million at auction. A) Wrong year B) The 1975 "No S" was a PROOF coin that came in a PROOF set--this is just a regular dime There are millions of these still around. It is worth exactly 10 cents. Best of luck in collecting. Report this Post to the Staff
MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 03/14/2015 4:41 pm it's worth face value. It wasn't until 1979 that the US mint put a small P on denominations higher than a cent. Edit: There are 1970-S proof dimes missing the mint mark but yours is a circulation strike. -MV Edited by MeadowviewCollector 03/14/2015 4:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Prior to 1980, yes (with exception of the War Nickels and the 1979 Anthony Dollar). Everything 1980 and after, excepting the cent, has had a P if minted at Philadelphia. Report this Post to the Staff
Derek Valued Member United States 125 Posts	Posted 03/16/2015 1:10 pm in agreement with everyone else, it is only worth 10 cents. However, all dimes 1980 and beyond have P mint marks. That being said, it would be worth a lot more if you found a 1982 dime with no mintmark, as I have been very lucky to find via CRH. There might be a couple more dates out there but I wouldn't be aware of them. Report this Post to the Staff
