I have a 1975 no s mint mark proof dime that I got in change. It is not a Philadelphia business struck coin as it has cameo and deep detail. PCGS wants me to mail to them for authentication. Not to disparage the folks there at PCGS but I have heard speculations the coin could bring as much as 700,000 dollars. I can’t bring myself to mail it anywhere. I certainly would like to communicate with anyone interested in purchasing this coin. It is more rare then the other two dimes of this variety because of the fact in was takin out of the proof set and spent. This dime is scuffed tarnished and stained but still bares all the marks of a proof coin including the cameo and deep detail but no s mint mark!

In reply to John Poisso. There are many 1975 no mint mark dimes, but they are actually business strike coins from the Philadelphia mint. Philadelphia didn't start putting a P on dimes until 1980. Unless the coin you're talking about came from a proof set, which were from the San Francisco mint and supposed to bear the S mint mark, then it's just a regular dime worth face value. Finding a no S 1975 dime is unlikely. Many people are trying to sell the Philadelphia dimes for thousands of dollars, they are either unaware of the difference between proof and business strike or they are trying to rip off buyers that don't know any better. Just something to be aware of if you happen to come across listings.
