1968 "S" mint dimes
Posted: Mon Dec 30, 2013 10:24 pm
I've now found two of these coins, both of which are clad.
I'm aware there is a valuable variety of that date, which are proof coins, with the "S" mintmark missing.
My question is, were there non proof versions of "S" mint dimes struck that year?
Mine don't appear especially high relief, but that could just be from years in circulation.
If anyone has a link on this, other than http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint/collectors_corner/?action=Mint_marks, it would be appreciated.
Basically I'm wondering whether to save these two I've found or turn them back in with the rest of the clad rejects. I've only found 2 out of over ten thousand dimes searched, so I tend to favor keeping them!
