1982-No-P...Any chance of a No-D

Stooge

I know that in 1982 the Philly Mint minted the 1982-No-P, but is this for certain? In the case where both mints make the same mistake, ie: 1942/1 (P/D) Mercury dime, both mints made the overdate.

Is it possible that the Denver Mint made a 1982-No-D? Has anyone ever looked into this?

Just curious, Paul.

At the time they knew the coins came from P-Mint bags.

Many were found at a circus or a fair in Ohio.

No.

Yes.

Most turned up in Sandusky, Ohio after being returned to the banks at the end of the
1982 season (Cedar Point). These were indeed found in Philly mint bags here and in
Pittsburg, PA and a few from out east (DC area). The weak strikes which were mainly
found in Pittsburg after the initial Ohio discovery were made first. The dies were read-
justed and the strong strikes were made.

You can occassionally find some "weak D" coins in circulation but I've not seen any evidence
that there were any other Philly or Denver dies which were used which had no mint mark.
All the no-P dimes are from the same die. There are, however, probably three die states.

It's rumored that many of them were found at Cedar Point in Sandusky. I buy my wife and kids season passes to there each year! It's about 1 hour from our place.

Maybe I should ask them for any change back from purchases in dimes!
