Jaime Hernandez: The 1982 No P Dime is the first U.S. business strike coin which accidentally left the U.S. Mint, without containing its intended mint mark. Because of the missing mint mark, this coin is now worth hundreds of times more than its original face value.
Are 1982 dimes made of silver?
Ninety percent silver Roosevelt dimes were manufactured from 1946 through 1964. The continual rise in the price of silver bullion in the early ’60s caused the United States Mint to replace the silver in all circulating coins with a copper-nickel clad composition, effective with 1965-dated coins.
Why is the 1982 dime worth so much?
The reason that 1982 dimes are scarce in uncirculated condition is twofold: Federal budget cuts forced the United States Mint to stop producing uncirculated mint sets, which had been in production virtually every year since 1947.
When did they stop making 90% silver dimes?
In 1964, the mint made the last dimes containing 90% silver. Most circulated Roosevelt dimes are only worth their bullion value. If you want to get the most money for your Roosevelt silver dimes, you need to sort them and organize them so the coin dealer can quickly see what you have.
