Found my first circulated/impaired proof coin roll hunting!

Feels great!

What does the obverse look like?

 

Just by judging the reverse (through 2 different pieces of hard plastic), what would you say? 1976, btw.

 

How about just posting a picture of the Obverse to make things simple... And take it out of the plastic.

 

Nothing here says "proof" to me.

 

Agreed. I don't see anything that says it's a proof. An 'S' on the obverse would end the uncertainty.

 

Based on what I see, I'd say it's not a proof.

 

I don't see an S.

 

The mint mark would be on the obverse. The OP posted two pics of the reverse, and no obverse.

 

Nope not a proof

 

Yes I know where the mint mark is.
I have been in the hobby for 50 years.
Not showing the obverse is an indication of a troll post.

 

Here? On CoinTalk??? Nah! Really?

 

I would bet that when the obverse does make an appearance, it will be a diff. coin.

 

I realize what I think this is, is slim to none. But it looks identical to a 1975s in person and nothing like a circulated 1975p. Entire field on both obverse and reverse is highly reflective when not under 2 pieces of plastic. Can't imagine a circulated 1975p looking like this after 43 years. I have about 100 BU 1975 dimes, and this is a different looking animal.

 

Hope. Sorry. Common ordinary well-struck 1975 Philadelphia dime. Coins just like this can be plucked from a mint set all day long. 43 years OLD does NOT imply 43 years in circulation.

There are "tons" of these that become orphaned when mint sets have been cut open to get the one type of Ike dollar from them.

 

All devices on both sides are double struck, and under a microscope it has SEVERAL of the same exact line marks on it that both known examples of the 1975 no S proof dime have...... can you explain this?!???

 

O M G!

 

Hope in one hand and defecate in the other. See which one gets filled first.

You have a normal circulated, albiet somewhat lightly, business strike coin.

 

If there is any doubt, take it to a dealer or send it in to be graded/authenticated. Either that or take the word of the members here.

 

I would never take the word of people on the internet. I will probably send it in eventually. The exact markings on the known no S proofs and this coin are exactly the same, in more than 12 different spots on the entire coin......more than worth having a professional take a look.
