I have found multiple proof reverses on 1970 dimes so I've gotten a decent eye for them and just needed someone else's opinion on this. Appreciate any response I can get.

jonnin Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 04/28/2021 02:03 am what do you think you see here? the reverse does not have a mirror finish, its worn way down (note the lack of detail in the torch and leaves) and it looks like any old dime that has had a long life of being bashed into other coins. Here is a proof dime (actually a proof coin not an error) reverse (bad pic, its through the mint's original cellophane wrapper) for comparison. Its hard to see the mirrored back surface through the wrapper but the details of the torch alone show what it should be for a proof...

But I now know that any dimes from 1971-1980 have the extra detail on the flame, I was just misinformed before and assumed it was something before I researched it. It's nothing Report this Post to the Staff
