JimV New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 08/12/2011 7:40 pm How unusual is it to find S mint marks in rolls from a bank. I recently got 4 rolls and found a total of 14 S mint marks. Seems very unusual to me. Should I sell them or hold on to them? What are they worth? Do any go into circulation or have they all been removed from a set? They are dated between 1968 and 1988.

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7189 Posts	Posted 08/12/2011 8:10 pm These "s" mint dimes were all issued in proof sets and not meant for circulation. Depending on their condition they hay have a premium but none are silver. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/12/2011 9:45 pm Unfortunately those were removed from Mint types of sets and whoever did it, just didn't care. Usually criminals that steal coins don't want to get involved in selling coins as coins so they just dump them into coin types of machines, coin counters, banks, etc. Also, most crooks are not Numismatically educated so a coin is a coin to them so that is how you got those.
