How much is a dime with no p below the date worth?
It depends on the coin's date.1. Philadelphia only started to use the P mint mark on dimes in 1980. Any dime minted in Philadelphia between 1965 and 1979 won't have a mint mark and is only worth ten cents.2. Dimes minted in 1964 and earlier had the mint mark on the back, not the front, but again, Philadelphia didn't use a mint mark. These dimes were 90% silver so they're worth at least $1.40 for their silver value, but may be worth more to a collector.3. The mint mark on dimes dated 1968 and later is abovethe date, not below.

What is the value of a 1968 proof set with a no-mintmark dime?
As of 07/2009 retail values are over $15,000 for a 1968 proof set where the dime does not carry a mint mark. That was the first year that proof coins were struck at the San Francisco mint, and one of the die-makers forgot to put the "S" mint mark on a die. Some "S-less" dimes were shipped in proof sets before the error was discovered. Be careful, though. Normal 1968 Philadelphia dimes don't have a mint mark because the P wasn't used on dimes until 1980. A Philadelphia dime can be processed to resemble a proof coin.
