Is this dime worth anything other that pocket change. When first found it was great cameo dime. Now after years, 4 to be exact, it is losing its luster. And I just put the dime in plastic about 3 weeks ago   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Some will say it is worth a $0.10.....but I will say that I somewhat agree.  |

It's a spender. Plastic with PVC can do damage to coins rather quickly.

Unless it is silver, it is reduced to pocket change.

If it was a 92-S Cameo proof that you found in circulation, you can be sure its no longer PF grade, the least amount of wear and nicks kills that. Plastic bags and sheets normally contain polyvinyl chloride(PVC), the enemy of the coins metals. The coin has been damaged by being circulated and handled improperly (by others than you perhaps). If you see the copper clad edge on it, its not a silver coin. Since its damaged and corrosion has set in, its a goner, no wway to save it and if not silver, not worth keeping. Wish there was better news...  Well welcome to our family anyway!  |

Not a Proof grade? You can't say that for without looking at the coin. Years ago I got a pretty quarter in change from an Orlando, Florida pizza joint. It was still a Proof and good enough to sell as a Proof single!
"Uncirculated is an unfortunate term. The condition is what counts, not where it has been.

So then, the value depends on whether it's silver or not. There are 1992-S clad proofs and silver proofs. A look at the edge for any sign of a copper layer will tell you as well as weight. If clad, then probably it's worth $0.10. If silver, then it would be worth more than $1 at a minimum just for silver content. @Crazyb0 It would be hilarious to see a slab labeled "PF Details - Parking Lot". And no, not interested but, thanks for offering.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
