    Yea doesn't look like a proof. Just a regular business strike.

    I’m confused.

    Many happy BST transactions

    No cameo effect. No mirrored fields. No frosty devices.

    If you found it in change, it's an almost certainty that it isn't a No S proof. In order to reach circulation, somebody would have to have been lucky enough to receive one of the handful of the 2.8 million sets with a no S dime, break it open, then spend the coins.

    Do you think that's what happened to your dime, or do you think it could be one of the 585 million 1975 business strike dimes that were minted in Philadelphia with no mintmark and released into circulation?

    Unreal 😝

    Have you weighed the dime or checked specific gravity? Had it checked with a meal analyzer? Unlikely that you have a proof dime, but those are steps you will need to take to confirm or negate your thoughts. Cheers, RickO

    The 1975 No S can only be found on a proof coin.
    MS or uncirculated coins don't count.

    . . business strike. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Proof


    What's a proof coin?

    A newly minted proof coin is made that causes a difference in appearance and qualifies it as a "proof". To understand this, let's look at how coins are made. Coins are produced when two dies strike a blank piece of metal with tremendous force. One die is engraved with the front (obverse) design for the coin. The other die has the back (reverse) coin design on it.

    A proof coin is made with a specially polished and treated die!

    By treating the die in a special way, the coins it produces have a different appearance. Modern technology allows the high points on the coin design to be acid treated (on the die). The background (field) design of the coin die is polished, resulting in a mirror-like look on the coin it strikes. This gives the finished coin a frosted look (frosting) on the raise parts of the design, with a mirror like finish on the background. This contrasting finish is often called "cameo". (See picture above.) On some older coins a cameo appearance is quite rare. The attribute "CAM", when added to a coin's description, means cameo appearance. "DCAM" means deep cameo, and indicates the cameo appearance is strong and easy to observe.

    Proof coins are struck twice, or more!

    Not only are proofs made using specially treated dies, each coin is struck two or more times by the coin die. By striking it more than once the metal is forced into all the crevices of the die, thereby giving a very fine detail to the image on the coin. This fine detail does not appear on some non-proof coins.

  • ChrisH821ChrisH821 Posts: 6,491 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Would you buy that coin, with your money, as a 1975 no S proof??
    The question is rhetorical, unless it isn't.

    Sadly, I agree.

    We know they are normal coins, OP knows they are normal coins, and they know that we know.

    Now where is that fishing lure photo that makes an appearance in cases like this? ;)

    God bless, and let me know your expertise verdict tomorrow morning, till then Have a great night and God bless🙏✌️👈

    In another thread you posted something then later said you were joking.

    you also have information above to differentiate a proof no s dime from a business strike.

    you have the information. we cannot operate you to make you read and see the differences. it is up to you to decide what you have.

    I think that the OP should send the coin to PCGS for verification and grading.

    you ask if something is such and such.

    the reply is not a good coin, spend it.

    that is your answer.

    also, on two different threads you have been given detailed explanations and have shown not to have utilized the information. further, one of the two threads you said you knew it wasn't such and such and was just joking.

    take the "spend it" replies as they are answering the basic question.
