<p>[QUOTE="Dimefreak, post: 1018860, member: 24267"]Hi,</p><p>Im glad you found your way to the site. You seem to be growing an interest for coins! Coins are extremely interesting, and the more you learn the thirstier you will get for more knowledge about them. The "P" and "D" you are referring to are called mint marks. Mint marks are put on the coin to distinguish what mint facility made the coin. The "P" mint mark refers to the Philadelphia mint. The "D" refers to the Denver mint. The mint marks can make massive differences in the pricing of coins. The massive differences in price are reflective of the amount of coins minted per year at the particular mint. Unfortunately in your case the Philadelphia mint and the Denver mint mass produced dimes in 2002. With any type of wear whatsoever the dime you are referring to is worth face value ($0.10). I do hope you continue to visit the site, and that you continue to find coins interesting!:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
