I'm sure there's a few out there, but the sheer numbers of dimes circulating, plus the low number of hunters who bother to face-check dimes, makes it a near impossibility.

The 1982 no-P dime is an error. After 1979 (1980 onward), all clad coinage from the Philadelphia have the mintmark P added. In 1982, there was a die that did not have the P mintmark punched into it and was used to make coins. The result was a rare error that is worth a hefty chunk of change ($150 - $300) in AU to Unc. They are rare and are hardly found in circulation.

The 1996 W dime is the only dime issue that was struck and issued by the West Point Mint with a specific designation. They are much rarer than the Denver and Philadelphia counterparts (with a mintage of 1,457,000) and were issued exclusively in mint sets. Thus the chance of finding one is very close to impossible.

I really don't get what your post means. Wow cool what? To what typecoin said? Then you leave your name, like you just said, wow cool, alex. As though your own post was cool but you didn't make a post. I'm sorry, I'm just confused.

I think it's fairly clear what he means...

(In response to previous post about a a dime worth $300)...

Wow! Cool.

I guess correct punctuation & spacing helps.

If I searched all the dimes I've had by now one-by-one looking for the mint mark, I'd either be blind or have myopia. If you really want one good luck, dawg.

My thoughts exactly- those who date search dimes are a special breed (not meant to be as a dis)
patience and eyes are not in my favor

just keep stacking, just keep stacking, stacking stacking stacking

I always wondered which is harder to find in the wild, the '76-s 40% quarter or the 1996-W dime. Anyone ever seen the 40% quarter found in the wild?
