<p>[QUOTE="karrlot, post: 136003, member: 4476"]A better way to tell the difference is just to use a magnet. The silver coins are not attracted to it, the others are. In 1968 the dime was made both in Ottawa (silver) and in Philadelphia (nickle). There are no mintmarks, but you can determine the mint based on the reeding. One is has square reeding, and the other has angled reeding. Don't remember which is which but I think its in Krause catalog. But the easiest is just with a magnet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
