Is this true? Supposedly they made the mistake with a small mintage during the transition in the early 80's. True or False answers.

Yes - there are an estimated 10,000 1982 Philly mint business strike Roosevelt dimes that were minted without the 'P' mint mark.

It is not an error as your state but a variety.

This is a variety that has been known for over 40 years now. Did you find one?

A son of a late friend of mine, found some of these in Bellevue, Ohio in 1982. I don't recall how many but he sold them all.

I do not believe. Those coins from Sandusky, Ohio was discovered on 20 of December by a local bank when has to roll them. I put the article which will explain the both versions of the coin's variety. First version seem to be one Die approx. 25 k strike max and second Die same.

Believe it or not, don't really care. Check a map and see where Bellevue is.

Starting in the year 1980, the Philadelphia Mint began including the "P" mint mark on the obverse of Roosevelt dimes. The issue was first identified in December 1982, when dimes lacking a mint mark started to appear around Sandusky, Ohio. Approximately 8,000 to 10,000 pieces were found in this area. The next major discovery occurred in August 1983 when approximately 3,000 to 5,000 more examples were found around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Later comparisons noted that the earlier finds exhibited a strong strike, indicated by the date being separated from the rim of the coin, while the later finds exhibited a weaker strike, with the final numeral of the date close to the rim. The two different varieties have led to the conclusion that two different obverse dies had been used to strike the coins. Based on estimated die life, this would yield an approximate total max mintage of 150,000 pieces.

The 1982 "No P" Roosevelt dimes command a healthy premium, with uncirculated examples selling in the $100 to $200 price range. Higher grades or certified examples with the full bands designation command higher prices. The finest known pieces are several which PCGS has graded MS68, one of which sold for $2,195 in May 2004. A sharper strike is thicker about 47-48 might fit into roll and weaker strike about 50-51 can fit into roll.

1982 p no mintmark on front is on business strike only, not proof coins. Its on page 229 of strike it rich with pocket change 5th edition book. circulated 40-70, uncirculated 150-250. record sale over 2,000 as mentioned for graded high end examples. The article silviosi already posted has additional info
