Being You's would be most likely to find them I will post here for those unaware
In 1982, the Philadelphia Mint produced a small quantity of dimes without a mintmark, the first such error to occur on a coin made for circulation. This inconceivable error came about thanks to a Mint employee who failed to add the mintmark onto an obverse die. Traditionally, Mint employees punch the mintmark into working dies, which are then inspected for any flaws or omissions. In this case, the omission of the mintmark went unnoticed and thousands of 1982 dimes without mintmarks escaped from the Philadelphia Mint.
The 1982 No Mintmark dimes were first discovered in late December, 1982. Credit for the discovery is shared by Walter Placzankis, Andrew Macdonald and Lane Durkee. The largest concentration of these error coins was in the area around Sandusky, Ohio, where approximately 8,000-10,000 of them were found. All of the coins from the Sandusky area displayed strong strikes with a date separated from the rim of the coin. Many of the error coins were given out as change to visitors at the Cedar Point Amusement Park. Additional error coins eventually turned up in circulation.
