spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 06/05/2017 01:36 am There are four possibilities for this date. Because yours has no mintmark above the date, then it's either a 1975(P) business strike dime or a 1975 "no S" proof dime. From what I understand, there are only two known examples of a 1975 "no S" proof dime. By looking at it, I can tell it is not a proof strike and must be a normal Philly dime. There is no cameo appearance (frosted devices, mirror fields) and it is struck off-center or with a mis-aligned die. That would be common with business strikes but, not so on proofs which are minted with greater precision.
