1968 No S Dime, PR68
Very Rare Mint Error

1968 10C No S, FS-501, PR68 PCGS. 1968 witnessed the resumption of proof coinage. No such sets had been issued since 1964, and demand was tremendous. More than 3 million sets were sold, and each coin in that set was supposed to bear the San Francisco mintmark. On the dime, the mintmark had been moved from the lower central reverse to the lower right obverse. Due to the small size of the coin, or the change in mintmark location, a working obverse proof dime die never had a mintmark punched in. The mistake was presumably caught quickly, given that only a few dozen examples are known today. This is a prominently mirrored and unabraded specimen with occasional traces of wheat-gold toning. Population: 18 in 68 (2 in 68+), 1 finer (7/19).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2005), lot 2595; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2009), lot 2293, which realized $28,750.
