1982 No P Roosevelt Dime Errors
The 1982 No P Roosevelt dime is one of the most famous mint mark errors in US coinage history. When the Philadelphia Mint began adding the P mint mark to dimes in 1980, one or more obverse dies were used without the mint mark being added. An estimated 10,000-35,000 examples were produced, making this a scarce and valuable error coin.

1982 No P Mint Mark
The primary error: a 1982 Roosevelt dime missing the P mint mark that should appear on the obverse. This occurred because one or more dies were not punched with the new P mint mark.
How to check: Look at the obverse where the P mint mark should appear (above the date). If no mint mark is present on a 1982 dime, you have the valuable No P variety. Compare with a normal 1982-P for reference.
