Sbglobal Valued Member United States 157 Posts	Posted 10/21/2022 3:26 pm Good afternoon coin community. This dime caught my eye due to its color and I'm wondering how it ended up this Tone. Also are the markings under the leaves on the reverse a result of a die clash or PMD? Lastly, how can I tell if it's a San Francisco no mint error proof or a Philadelphia minted coin? Thank you in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 10/21/2022 4:07 pm With this much env. toning you could still see the differences between a proof and business strike. The proof would have sharper devices. Around the reverse of this coin, the letters trail off the closer to the rim that they get, a proof wouldn't do that. Report this Post to the Staff

This isn't a 100% methods, but works in the overwhelming majority of cases.
