oxox New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 11:11 am well I guess I was hoping it was "s" to the right which was maybe a mis placed "s" and if it was then this dime would be the "1979 S" dime which only proofs were minted no circulation. Therefore the title. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe it's a 100% not an impaired proof but is a business strike intended for circulation. I see what your seeing and to me it looks more like a 5 It's an optical illusion from the damage,staining,crud on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 01/26/2018 1:06 pm That's not an impaired proof, unfortunately. It's a 1979-P dime. You're seeing an "S" because of the dirt on the coin, which looks like an S. Report this Post to the Staff
