Three dime dies, one nickel, one cent. Don't know why this would be, other than perhaps because the mint mark is in a less conspicuous area on the dime die, and therefore less likely to get noticed as being missing. TD

The surface area was too small for them to fit it in

A numis News author once suggested it was that the small surface area made
it easier to overlook. This sounds as plasible as any other theory.
The circ versaion ('82 NMM) is also a dime.
