These appear to be common, circulated dimes, with photos taken using warm lighting (hence, the white balance is a bit off). The '77 appears to reflect a slightly misaligned die and a hint of Die Deterioration.

It's just from being worn down so only worth 10 cents per dime

That's normal die wear on most Roosevelt dimes.
Nothing special

Philly-minted dimes of that era carried no mint mark — normal for the 1970s.

Hi,
My first time on this site was rough too!
I see 3 dimes that all have different rims. The last dime is a broadstrike. A die error. Is any of the reeding was missing? Are the design elements all still there on both sides?
What do you think everyone?

All seem normal, no broadstrikes.

A broadstrike? no I don't think that is the case here. Maybe a MAD or off center strike but not enough to add any value. I would have to see the reverse to determine if it is a MAD though.
Broad strike coins will be thinner and larger than the intended size. It appears that this is not the case.

Quote:
What Do Broad Struck Coins Look Like?
Broadstrike coins have substantial abnormalities — so they're rather easy to identify:

They're usually thinner and wider than normally struck coins.
They will usually have an incomplete edge with a missing or misshapen rim.
There will probably be a lot of extra space between the inscriptions found near the rim of the coin (like the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" as seen on the obverse of a Lincoln Cent) and the edge of the coin.
They may be off-centered a bit or perfectly centered — though all of the design must be present in order for it to classify as a true broadstruck coin.

It's mis-aligned alright, but is it the die or the coin that is out of alignment?

@mpfanku no, none of these are broad struck. Broad strikes are significant errors that would stand out like a sore thumb. These are three completely normal dimes as far as I can see.
