What S is supposed to be missing? Looks like an average circ coin.

chaddychadball87 - Your multiple vague 'questions' (which are really not questions) about common circulated coins are puzzling.
Do you sincerely want to learn about coins? If so, please ask specific questions.
If you are here for other reasons, another online venue would be more suitable.
Sincerely,
Mark

I honestly want to learn. I apologize..I just really don't know what to ask specifically. That's why I just post to see what others have to say about them. Again I apologize for the confusion

Looks like a dime.
Cents from Philadelphia still to this day still do not use mintmarks.
Philadelphia minted dimes did not start using a P mintmark until 1980.
Unless that coin was a Proof strike it will not show a mintmark unless it was minted at Denver.
See, that is all it took to explain it rather than dogpiling on someone who is new and made a type in the thread title.

You've probably heard of proof strikes that are missing the S mintmark. If this was a proof, it would be worth quite a bit. However, it's a business strike, so it's just a regular 1975 dime that is worth no more than face.

A RedBook won't specifically explain that a circulated 1975 Philadelphia minted coin is not actually a (rare, like only two known) 1975 San Francisco coin minted without the S mint mark that somehow escaped from the proof set and got spent and circulated.

 , With jdiablo30 . Coin collecting is fun and rewarding . I can understand in todays world of coins things will get complicated ,that's why you need to study and educate yourself at least on the denomination and type of coins that interests you the most . The Red Book is a must for every new collector as well as coin magazines ,online sites ,Etc .  |

I also recommend the Red Book, in particular the deluxe version, referred to as the Mega Red. |

I see many new collectors asking similar question. I feel CCF is here to help them learn. Getting a RedBook is very good advice. It has a lot of the basic information needed, of course you have to read it. Some just get it to look up prices. For this example for a 1975 S dime it has (a)
That note will state that some 1968, 1970, 1975 and 1983 proof dimes were made in error - without a mint mark. So these should not be confused with business strike dimes made in Philadelphia which are not suppose to have a mint mark. There were 585,673,900 minted business strikes including the Op's pictured above. Also as stated above .. be nice to the new members. They might be new to collecting or online forums or both. We were all there ... I know I said a lot of wrong things when I started on CCF .. And sure I still do ... |

I recommend you go to your local coin shop, or on ebay and buy a proof set, doesn't matter which year, and buy a Red Book. The only no mintmark circulation coin that's an error that I can think of is the 1982. All others are proofs. Use the proof set you buy to compare to any coins you find in circulation, to see how different they are from each other. |
