The only 1973 dimes to carry an S mint mark were made for sale in proof sets, so if your coin has that letter on it, it's from a proof set that someone broke up and spent.

The fact that it was put into circulation destroyed any extra value it had as a proof coin but you haven't lost much because it was only worth maybe 45 or 50 cents before someone took it out of its original Mint packaging.

In any case it's an interesting curiosity to hold onto.
