`This is probably a silly question but I will ask it. I have a 1955 Roosevelt dime in a plastic holder that I found in some belongings. I can't remember why I have it as I collect sets. I must have had it for at least 30 years.

 

It seems to be a proof. How can one be sure it is a proof and not a really nice mint state since neither the proof or mint state do not have a mint mark if I am not mistaken.

 

 

Thanks

It is a 1959. I scanned it and the more I look at it then I think it has to be a proof. Too shiny and mirror like and detail in the hair etc.

Does anybody have any advice on how to wipe off the smudges on the scanner glass as I understand that you can screw it up if you don't use the right cloth/tissue.

 

Thanks

You can buy a lens cleaning cloth, probably at a camera or film shop. BTW, your dime appears to be a business strike from the scan but I can not be positive from the scan.

Thanks. I had a spray and some cloths for cleaning my monitor but I seemed to have lost them. I think that it is a proof. Its so small that it is hard to tell but has mirror like qualities and the hair is pretty detailed. Just couldn't get a good scan.

 

Nearest palce for me is Best Buy so I will probably try them.

 

 

Thanks
