Proof coins were struck at Philadelphia up till 1964 so if your dime has an S or D mint mark next to the E in ONE, that's one indication it can't be a proof coin.
If it doesn't have a mint mark, the only way to be 100% sure it's a proof coin would be if it's still in its original package from the Philadelphia Mint. If you found it in circulation a proof coin might still show its mirror-like surface in spite of being worn. The bad news is that once a proof coin has been damaged by being in change, in most cases it loses any special collector value.
no the dime is made of a fake metal
Don't know sorry x
The unit you should use to measure the thin edge of a dime would be millimeters.
No. People are not bullet proof.
no but there is no proof that they aren't
A Proof dime is a dime that has been made using special techniques. Most US Proof coins are struck at least twice, and handled individually with tongs or gloved hands. While modern US Proof coins have a mirror-like background, or field, and satiny devices (raised areas), a Proof from 1941 may be all shiny or have a matte finish. A 1941 Proof dime is a Proof dime minted for 1941. (Note: if the intent was to ask for the value of this dime, see the Related Question "What is the value of a 1941 Proof US dime," a link to which can be found to the left below the blue "pod.")
yes I have this coins
It is really hard to describe what a proof coin looks like in text. But the coin will have mirror-like fields (the part of the coin with no design) and will be exceptionally well struck. All bands on the reverse of the coin should be distinguishable and separate. A 1941 proof dime is worth quite a bit and should never be handled with your hands as the oils will damage the delicate surfaces. Instead, if you think you have a proof coin, take it to a coin dealer and he will tell you if it is indeed a proof dime or merely a business strike coin.
The missing mintmark 1968-S dime is only found as a PROOF coin in the 1968 proof sets. If you think you have one of these coins that has been removed from a proof set, it would have to be authenticated by a major grading service.
