Th3ch0s3n0ne New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/22/2023 10:25 pm I'll make it short but I found this dime. And it looks like it has what appears to be a "S" or a "5" in the cheek. I'm thinking may be it's post mint. But hopefully I can get someone's opinion or expertise. Report this Post to the Staff

Th3ch0s3n0ne New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 04/22/2023 11:33 pm Thanks for y'all's response. I definitely get that it's been around the block a few times. And I agree it's probably well circulated and most definitely post mint. But there are some questionable spots that look like raised letters. I put an arrow by the questionable spots.
