    Welcome to the forum Burt. Unfortunately, the coin you have pictured is a regular business strike. The '68 'no S' is a proof coin.

    The 1968 "No S" dime is a proof coin. This is a regular circulated coin from the Philly Mint. Circulated coins for this year from the Philly Mint do not have a mintmark.

    It's worth 10c!

    Ken, my intuition told me that you would post before me, so I added a few tidbits.

    Business strike coins are the ones intended for circulation and the one pictured was minted at the philly mint, which at the time lacked a mint mark.

    Welcome to the neighborhood, Burt! Since you posted this twice, I'm going to ask if the mods will combine them.

    Regular phillidepiha mint mark, which is no mint mark. The no "s" coins they are talking about are proof coins in special all "s'' sets and and error made it so the dime has no see.

    Your coin is worth a huge grand total of... 10 CENTS!!!

    https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090401103404AAwsIlB. The 1968 no S dime is a proof not a circulation strike coin. The Philadelphia mint coins that year had no mint marks. The dime is found in proof sets from that year and I have not heard of any being found in circulation, for the proof set would have had to been broken open. News of the no S proof dime came out early and most collectors knew it so I doubt a set was broken up. It would need to be seen by a dealer to see if it is indeed a proof and just not the regular issue from the Philly mint.

    You can google image search for 1968 no S dime and see the difference. i don't want to post any images from pcgs/ngc i don't own.

    Not necessarily! NGC, alone, has graded 9 of the dimes, and I think they are capable of telling the difference between a proof and a business strike.

    If you get it graded you will spend at least $20 to get your regular clad dime graded "1968P EF-45", completely not worth it. We are just trying to help you on here.
