Your dime could be worth $45,000 - the exact 'mint mark' to look for
A DIME sold for over $45,000 thanks to its excellent condition and one small, yet historic, error.
Rare coin TikTok channel @treasuretown recently profiled the 1968 No S Roosevelt Dime.
Minted in San Francisco, the dime was supposed to bear an S mint mark right below Franklin D. Roosevelt's bust.
Yet, a small batch of Proof Roosevelt Dimes was mistakenly released without the mint mark.
Proof coins are limited edition releases of new coins meant for collection rather than circulation.
DIME BREAKDOWN
This coin has the visual hallmarks of a proof coin, according to the video posted by Treasuretown.

"You can tell from its mirror-like reflectivity on its surfaces, that it's a proof coin," Treasuretown said.
And this proof coin remains in excellent condition.
It is rated MS69 by the coin rating agency Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS).
That is only one point below a perfect score of MS70.

In addition, it has a Cameo designation, meaning there is an eye-catching deep contrast between the lightly colored raised design - Roosevelt's bust - and the dark, nearly black field.
If you think you have one of the handfuls of 1968 No S Proof Dimes, make sure to get it appraised by an expert.
MORE NOTABLE ERRORS
Error coins are some of the most sought-after rare coins.
These mistakes can range from blatant to extremely subtle.
At the more obvious end of the spectrum is a quarter mistakenly minted on the planchet of a 19th-century gold coin.
This golden quarter fetched over $90,000 at auctions.
Yet tiny errors can make coins valuable as well.
A Kennedy half-dollar missing two small letters, FG, below the bust of John F Kennedy sold for $2,365.
Besides mistakes, other hard-to-catch details can make a coin worth thousands of dollars.
A nickel from 1964 which has fully visible steps on the design of Monticello found on the reverse can be worth 45,000.
