<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1293125, member: 11521&quot;]Additional clues are found in an article in the September 19, 2011 issue of Coin World. The front-page article &#039;Proof 1975 No S dime reaches rarefied levels&#039; is continued on pages 60 and 61. The article explains that, in 1975, the San Francisco Assay Office struck dimes without a mintmark for circulation. (The San Francisco Mint lost its status as a Mint in 1962 and was known as the San Francisco Assay Office until 1988 when it regained full Mint status again.) At the same time the San Francisco Assay Office struck Proof coins with an &#039;S&#039; mintmark. </p><p><br /></p><p>Quoting from the article:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Explaining how the 1975 Proof &quot;No S&quot; dime was made the article states:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The clue to which I referred is the sentence: </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, according to Coin World, mintmarks were applied to the working dies at the Philadelphia Mint before the dies were shipped to the branch Mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
