That article highlights one of the most exciting recent finds in modern numismatics (coin collecting).
Here are a few quick details about this famous coin:
The Error: Standard proof coins minted in San Francisco during that era were stamped with an "S" mint mark. Due to a striking error at the U.S. Mint, a tiny handful of 1975 Roosevelt dimes were accidentally produced completely without it.
The Rarity: Only two of these "No-S" proof dimes are known to exist in the entire world, making them the ultimate "holy grail" for modern coin collectors.
The Backstory: The coin that sold for $506,250 at GreatCollections had been purchased by an Ohio family in 1978 to serve as a financial safety net. It sat quietly in a bank vault for over 40 years before being inherited by three sisters, who finally brought it to auction.
Could there be more? Experts note that if any others are still out there, they would only turn up inside original 1975 U.S. Mint "proof sets" rather than regular pocket change.
