Those are buisness strikes from Philadelphia. There are a few 100 million 1968 dimes minted in Philly that have no mint mark. The no S coin is proof and even circulated - you would know it was a proof
thankyou. now to know its a Proof... the only difference is the quality essentially? coz all my research ive only found theres a "square rim" on the Proofs.. what is this square rim?
Proof is a method of manufacture, and the planchets the coins are struck on are polished to a mirror finish, and the dies and hubs are different than what's used for business strikes. Proofs are also struck more than once with the dies wherein business strikes are struck once. 1968 S Proof Roosevelt 1968 Business Strike Roosevelt
Rims can be square ( right angle like a corner) such as with proofs or chamfered ( rounded) such as for circulation. Here is a square rim on top and a chamfered rim on the bottom Square rim Chamfered rim Jim
