1975 Dime Without Mintmark

[Red-Coat]

From UK Newspaper ‘The Independent’ via ‘msn.com’:

Three sisters from Ohio who inherited a dime kept in a bank vault for more than 40 years knew it had some value. But they had no idea just how much until just a few years ago.
The extraordinarily rare coin, struck by the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1975, could bring more than $500,000, said Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections, which specializes in currency and is handling an online auction that will end in October.
What makes the dime depicting President Franklin D. Roosevelt so valuable is a missing “S” mint mark for San Francisco, one of just two without the mark known to exist. The other one sold at a 2019 auction for $456,000 and then again months later to a private collector.

That will be interesting to watch. They don't mention there are millions of business strike 1975 dimes without mintmark though, I expect this will get a lot of people confused thinking they have the rare one!
