It's real in the sense that it does exist and it is a dime. However, the coin you own is what is a called a business strike. It was made for general circulation, and it's not supposed to have an S mint mark. The coin that is worth thousands of dollars is a proof strike, which was made for collectors and put into plastic sets. It's supposed to have an S mint mark...which is why the "No S" variety is worth so much money. Hope that helps!
Of course, you've already been told this once in a duplicate post. Your coin is worth ten cents, or 25 cents at an AuctionZip auction.
Is it real? Absolutely! One of 585,673,900! ADVICE: Buy a 1975 Mint Set. They all have No S Dimes in them. Heck, they even have No S Lincolns in them! And No S Jeffersons!
I have a 1975 no s mint mark dime is it legit? I know the value is lower due to no coin case just trying to get an answer
The value is exactly 10 cents. I know for a fact since I had a 1975 "No W" Mint Mark Dime and a 1975 "No P" Mint Mark Dime. The fella at 7-11 would still only credit me 10 cents for em! Arg! Now @Teeah2888, all the dimes produced at the Philadelphia Mint during 1975 DID NOT HAVE MINT MARKS and they weren't supposed to have Mint Marks because Philadelphia is THE Main US Mint. Denver, San Francisco, and West Point are Subsidiary Mint's and as such are REQUIRED to put a mint mark on the coins they produce. The San Francisco Mint ONLY produces proof coins since 1975. Each proof coin produced received an "S" Mint Mark with the exception of 2 coins of which both are 1975 Dimes which were encapsulated in US Mint Proof Set Plastic. Finding a 1975 US Dime in circulation that does not have an S Mint mark merely indicates that the dime was produced at the Philadelphia US Mint. It's value is 10 cents.
