The 1975 San Fransisco Dime: A Numismatic Rarity

In 1975, the San Fransisco Mint issued a set of proof coins, six of which were sold for $7. A few years later, when it was reported that two of the dimes included in those proofs were missing the S to represent that they were minted in San Fransisco, a family in Ohio made an important purchase

The coin is valuable because it is a collectible proof coin that was minted without the S to represent San Fransisco. Only two dimes in the entire set of proof coins were minted with this error, making them highly sought-after by collectors. The value of misprinted coins can vary widely, but generally, the rarer the coin, the higher its value. In this case, the fact that only two dimes were minted with this error drives up its value massively for collectors.
