<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeankay, post: 444765, member: 12159&quot;]Thanks everyone for checking out these two dimes.</p><p>According to an NGC article I found on the internet.</p><p>Basically it says:</p><p>...first appearing in 1946... parts of the design were indistinct, including the JS initials. Other modifications are noted during 1964 and 1981... new hubs being introduced frequently (because of wear)... the new hubs appear almost annually, but the changes are so slight as to go unnoticed except by specialists. </p><p>Further... dimes have been coined at three mints... P, D, SF...(until SF became the assay office). Proof coinage at SF resumed in 1968, and the S minted dimes are true proofs bearing the letter S and were made exclusively for sale to collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>With all this said, isn&#039;t it possible not all of the hubs that formed the dies for the S minted dimes were from the same master die? </p><p>I find on the two dimes a great difference in the shape of the ear, the shape of the chin and nose, and the hair over the ear is &#039;trimmed&#039; differently.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have tried for hours today to get better pictures without glare and fuzziness, but so far I have failed. I won&#039;t give up...</p><p>jeankay[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
