The PCGS and NGS Census shows no record of this dime being graded, however, some say it does exist. Has anyone ever seen this dime for sale or in a collection? Does it even exist? Thanks for any information.

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

Thanks direwolf1972. I guess it is possbile they exist. But only two sets? I've asked many proof dealers, and they all say the dime does exist, but none of them have ever seen one or know the value of the coin. If the coin does exist, why not certify it? Would it not have a greater market value than the 1968, given the population? I would think so. Thanks for the info.
There are about 5-6 of these and yes, none of them have been graded. It has been rumored that one sold privately for about $40,000.
PCGS does indeed have a coin # if anyone wishes to get theirs graded.
Later, Paul.

These coins found homes with error collectors long before anybody was slabbing coins. There has been no need for the owners to submit them in the interim.

<< <i>IMHO it makes NO sense NOT to get this coin slabbed by PCGS in whatever grade they offer. Leaving it out of the slab can only reduce the grade overtime assuming it is subject to handling or air. Steve
I disagree, but that's just me. I'd have left it in the original govt. packaging.
I've often wondered if any of them could be 40% silver. After all, the "No-S" proof quarter, half and dollar of that year were all 40%.

There were 40% planchets prepared for the other coins, Andy, as they had marketing plans to sell them in that format, but I am unaware if there was ever plans to coin the dime in 40% silver, so I would be very, very surprised to see them on 40% plancets. They were always rumored to be in the 1975 proof set, as well.
The picture above is the first actual picture, let alone a physical coin, that I have ever seen.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

The discovery coin that I saw had a normal copper core.
