Rare 1975 Dime Sells for Over $500,000 at Auction

The dime, missing its mint mark, was hidden for decades by an Ohio family before fetching a record price.

The 1975 dime, depicting President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is one of only two known to exist without the 'S' mint mark.
Three sisters from Ohio inherited the rare coin after their brother, who had kept it in a bank vault for over 40 years, passed away.
GreatCollections, an auction house in California, facilitated the sale, which concluded with a winning bid of $506,250.
The family originally purchased the coin in 1978 for $18,200, a significant investment at the time, equivalent to about $90,000 today.
Experts believe the sale could spark renewed interest in searching for other missing examples from the 1975 proof sets.
