1982 No Mint Mark Dime

Well, I finally found one after several years of looking! It has some wear and is a bit dirty. I believe it is the “Strong Strike” judging by how clear the number 2 is. Going in the Dansco!

congrats, I never found one

 

Nice. Did you find it CRH'ing?

 

Sort of. I have an agreement with the local thrift store to collect all their cash register change. I search and count the coins and write them a check for face value. I used to give them a 10% premium, but after a year of this we settled on FV as the finds are very infrequent. Then I dump the searched coins at my bank which has a coin machine. I find a few hole fillers for my albums, a few wheats, and the very very rare silver dime. And the thrift store doesn't have to hassle with the change. So, it's a win-win.

 

Some background info.

Nice find! Yes yours is a late strong strike as evidenced by the die crack at 1 o’clock. I have found 3 so far.

 

Thanks Corgi, very interesting. I did not know the history of this error.

 

Thanks Heavymetal. I did not even notice the obverse die crack, and I found it interesting that it was discussed in the PCGS article that @CoinCorgi cited. It's pretty impressive that you have found 3 of these.

 

Wow... Congrats! Been looking for a long time too.

 

I have never looked for this one. Dimes are too small for me. I have a hard time even edge checking them.

 

They’re getting too small for me too. Much harder to handle and read the date than a half!

 

Now I am going to have to look through 4000 dimes. Thanks!

 

Phew, good luck!

 

Will report any positive results.
It's 4098 but I just started a new jar. Gonna do those 98 first.

 

Been there,done that
