I know, I know - you experts are already rolling your eyes because another newbie thinks he just got rich. HA! Well, you're partly correct, I am a newbie, but I really don't have to luck to think I just found a "holy grail". However, I still wanted to get you guys to give me the information I feel I already know. I got this 1968 Dime as change, and just want to confirm it's a 1968 Philly Dime. Although, if it's not (dreaming) then I'm gonna have a really happy wife. Either way I'm new here, and welcome all help and comments.

Yes, it is a simple Philly dime. The no S is a proof coin, and even with this much wear, you would see evidence of that.

Yep, just a regular dime.
Fyi, post obverse and reverse pics for best identifying opinions, but yeah, the Philadelphia mint did not put marks on the Roosevelt dimes, (and other coinage too).
1946-1964 dimes are made of silver.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll still continue working the 9-5. HA! But I think I just caught the "bug" for coin collecting. I'll be a late bloomer, but looks like fun. Thanks for the welcome to the community. Ya'll take care. All the best from Texas!

If you put coins in an Album, you could put this one in any of 3 places.

How do you determine if it is a Philly dime?

1980 was the first year the Philly mint put a mint mark on a business strike coin. Prior to that, if it has no mint mark it meant it was made at the Philly mint.

Joeua- Sorry to disappoint you, but these coins do not have any value. As previously stated, the 1968 (P) dime is very common and is worth ten cents. However, if you have 1968 no S proof dime, which unfortunately you do not, that would be the valuable piece. You can tell if it is a 1968 no S proof by looking at the field around the design. If it has a mirror finish, than you have the no S proof. Also, what do you mean by you have two silver quarters dated 1965? Silver quarters stopped being produced in 1964. If I misread this, and you have two regular silver quarters, they are worth melt: $3.

Thanks WheatbackPenny I'll keep hunting. I have 3 dozen Sacagawea gold dollars. Are they just worth a dollar? I also have some Morgan's susan b. 1935 1951 1974 nickels 1964 through 1978 dimes. 1913 Wheat penny to 1958 Wheats also got a 1958 penny with regular back.

The Sacagawea's are just worth face unless you have a rare variety (see this link for information: http://www.smalldollars.com/dollar/page28.html ). The Morgan dollar's are at least worth their silver melt of around $13, but likely more depending on the condition, date, and mintmark (If they are a common year in lower-middle grade they are worth up to $25). Susan B. Anthony's are just worth face, unless you have a variety (https://www.thespruce.com/susan-b-a...eties-768243 ). The 1935 nickel, called a Buffalo nickel is probably worth about a quarter, depending on condition, while the 1951 Jefferson nickel is probably only worth around 10 cents. Unfortunately, the 1974 nickel is only worth face value. All dimes before 1965 are silver and worth a minimum of about $1.20, their melt value. Can you list a complete list of the wheat cents that you have? An average circulated 40s or 50s common date Wheat cent will be worth about Three Cents. Finally, can you post pictures of the 1958 memorial? This is likely fake (sorry to say), but if it is real it would be one of only two that exist.
