coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 6:09 pm It is a real missing s dime, but it's from Philadelphia and normal. What you are looking for is a proof dime that should have a S mint mark, but doesn't have the mint mark. Proof coins are a lot different than business strike coins.

Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 6:11 pm The no 'S' variety refers only to proof coins, which should all have the S mintmark as they were minted in San Francisco. However, since your coin is not a proof but a regular business strike, the lack of a mintmark only means that it was minted in Philadelphia, which did not begin putting mintmarks on their coins until 1980.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74999 Posts	Posted 08/31/2018 6:48 pm That only applies to Proof Strike Dimes with the missing S mint mark. You have a normal Business Strike Dime, that was minted in Philadelphia. It's worth face value. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
