[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 3036356, member: 87737"][USER=87375]@Willysilver[/USER] , I see you're in Florida. Grab your high grade coins, and head over to the Summer FUN show in Orlando July 12-14. All the grading companies will be there, and some may even show you what you have. Umm.... huh? I think you're saying that you had a 1968 no-S proof dime that you received in change in Massachusetts, and that most of the No-S proof dimes were kept(?) or minted(???) in Massachusetts, you showed said coin to a dealer, and he stole it from you. [I]Let's think about this for a minute.[/I] No-S coin of value would be a coin minted at the San Francisco (California) mint, but the 'S' was left off. The Gov't decided to ship these proof sets across the country, to Massachusetts, for storage/distribution. These are proof coins, intended to be included in proof sets, and sold as a set to collectors. But it's your understanding/belief that instead of going into the sets, they were released into circulation, but only from the FR in Mass. With your incredible luck, you were handed one of the (6 known, yours would make 7 known) proof No-S dimes by the lady behind the counter at your local newsstand (or wherever). Then, days, weeks, years later, with your same incredible luck, you showed it to the most unscrupulous coin dealer, who, when presented the coin, stealthily hid the coin from you, and magically made it disappear. [I]Is that a correct synopsis of what you're saying?[/I] I don't know if you're kind of luck is the best to have or the worst to have. BTW, how do you tell a proof from a business strike?
