I do believe that that "P" means that they were minted in Philadelphia,Pennsylvania.
No, not all dimes from 2000 onward are marked with a "D" or "P." The "D" indicates that the coin was minted in Denver, while the "P" indicates the Philadelphia mint. Additionally, dimes produced in 2009 and later may not have a mint mark at all, as some coins were produced without distinguishing marks to save on production costs.
Well I had $500 dollars in dimes and it weighted 50.6 pounds. Do the math :P
11 dimes and 5 nickels.
They have to be dimes from 2000..
About 80 cents to $1 for the silver it contains. It doesn't have a P below the date for 3 reasons: 1. Philadelphia only started to use the P mint mark on dimes in 1980. 2. Dimes minted in 1964 and earlier had the mint mark on the back, not the front. 3. The mint mark on dimes dated 1968 and later is above the date, not below.
There were over 856,000,000 of these dimes produced, assuming you don't have an error coin of some kind, these dimes are worth only ten cents, they are struck on cupro-nickel blanks just like dimes today are minted with and are not silver or any other metal worth more than face value.
In circulated condition, about $1.00 for its silver content. Note that 1947 dimes do not carry a P mint mark. That mark first appeared on dimes in 1980.
The "P" on a USA dime is a mint mark indicating the coin was minted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA. Dimes minted in Philadelphia before 1980 don't have the letter P on them though.
In general no. Prior to 1980 only the D&S mintmark's were used. Coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint did not use a mintmark. From 1980 to date the Mint added a "P" mintmark. But some Proof sets have Dimes that lack a S mintmark, they do have much higher values.
The P mint mark was first used on dimes in 1980. All earlier dimes minted in Philadelphia didn't carry a mint mark. Please check your coin again - the mint mark position is next to the E in ONE on the back.
Please take a look at your pocket change. Roughly half of all dimes in circulation were made in Philadelphia. The fact that it has a P mint mark indicates it was made in 1980 or later (dimes made in Philly up till 1979 didn't carry a "P" mark) so it's a common coin worth only ten cents.
A roll of dimes is 50 dimes or $5.00
