Found this...... It has a thicker rim than the norm. Stuck out from the rest. What do you guys think?

Maybe. Probably not, but maybe. The pics neither confirm nor disprove that it is.

There are very few no s mint mark coins. The few that are listed are 1968 and 1970 dime. These are very unique and rare coins. It is worth checking out further. I hope you found one.

Did you find it in a roll? That would be amazing if it was real and you found it in a roll. I wonder if someone accidentally spent it.
It reminds me of a "tale" I heard years back about a guy in Idaho who allegedly had a 1943 copper penny in a dish with some other change on top of his fridge (cuz that's where I keep my 5 and 6 figure rarities - mixed in with pocket change on top of my fridge - why would anyone put them in a coin album or get them certified right?) Anyway, allegedly his wife spent it and there was a big news story on it. I have to admit, I was temped to drive to that town and buy a bunch of rolls from the banks and try to find it. I only lived about 100 miles away at the time. Then I realized that it was probably total bullsh*t.
Hope yours is legit! Long shot, but stranger things have happened...

Found it in a roll. This may be just a high relief reverse of '68. Still a cool find.

I would be very surprised that if you bought that coin already slabbed that any coin dealer or whoever slabbed it would have missed a rare or valuable coin.

There's some coins that I obtained that are slabbed and are variety.
