1968 dime. no s found

Well i called some coins dealer and they tell me the same thing yell telling me but they want me to bring my 1968 dime in for Appraisal so they can rip me off by Switching out. I'm not stupid. I search Google on 1968 no s dime and not finding nothing about 1968 no s dimes being circulated.

The "No-S" coin they are talking about comes from this special 1968 proof set. The proof sets were not put into circulation and had a shiny reflective finish and made only for collectors so there is no chance that you have one, what you have is just a 1968p. Before 1982 all dimes made in Philly had no mint mark.

I'm sorry, but it appears everyone on here is certain, including me, that it is just a normal dime and no dealer will want to "switch it out".
Here is "evidence" that "no-s", also known as dimes minted in Philadelphia DO circulated.

Here is one of the 424,470,000 regular Philadelphia dimes minted.


According to Cointracker, it is worth 10 cents and can bring $1 in perfect condition.

Like i said i will get it graded.

 

Yours is circulated. So what are you talking about. That should be the nail in the coffin for you. Look I have one too. Here's mine!!!

 

I will get it graded cuz my dime look better then the pictures cuz the pictures was taking with a cellphone. I don't think it a circulated. Cuz my dad had it for years when he died. is when i got it

 

The dime you are showing is slightly circulated, but being circulated of not is not was I was trying to say. I never mean't circulated, I mean't made for circulation. Just because a dime is brand new and never used does not make it a special dime not made for circulation, I have many coins from over 130 years ago that have never been used, they still are coins made for circulation. The appearance on your dime is completely wrong for a proof coin

I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH @jay4202472000

 

Well you make around the 30-40th person, since I joined a few years ago, that was gonna "prove everyone wrong." You know what, not a single one "proved everyone wrong!" You will be the 35th or 36th that never shows up again. All you are doing is shoving a half a hundred dollars up a donkey's...well, donkey. I don't want to sound harsh, but no one here wants to trick you, or steer you wrong. We are here to help. Spend the dime!

 

That could not have been said better! I fully agree!
It seems everyone has the same opinion but you do not want to accept it.

I remember a guy on here or another forum with a "post mint damage coin" and he was convinced that it was a "rare error" he ended up supposibly going to 10 "experts" and everyone said that it was completly real and worth a fortune. Long story short, It was just a normal coin the had some damage and after 10 pages of replies he still never accepted it and quit the forum.

 

ok i reviewed the images and thus far your coin is not the1968 s- no s proof dime althoug it might be a 1968 ddo 68 /68 date varity

 

That dime have a mint mark. Edit - Forum Rules look on top of date

 

I know that, That was an example of a regular 1968s Proof Set, not anything rare, I was just showing you what the set that a proof dime of that year would come in.

Here is a real no-s Dime set.
See how there is no mint mark above the dime's date.



We are just trying to help you.

 

Seriously?!?

You like that word, don't you? Read your quote above, out loud. Does that sound like the English language? Edit

 

I'm not here to help you. I'm here to encourage more and more responses to your posts.

Please send it in to get graded so this conversation ends sooner than later. I think it has a chance to be worth thousands.

 

there were 424,470,400 no-S dimes minted in Philadelphia in 1968 - yours is one of over 424 million - yours isn't a proof and is worth 10 cents.

 

God, I love this thread.

 

Lol, this thread has more drama than some 1980's soap operas

 

ok what 1968 ddo

 

Knock off the name calling!

 

That right there is some funny coin humor.

 

For future reference here is what the surface of a proof coin looks like.
(These are photos of my coins I took)


Later on proofs looked like this:
(I forgot to take photos of my later cameo proof coins so he is a photo of one I found online)


Proofs before 1968 did not have a s
