Charlie510 New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 06/26/2026 02:14 am I got these two dimes and I noticed the we is off. I dont know if this is a legit error or if all dimes made then are just off centered. Also it looks a little doubled to me. Please let me know what you all think Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98963 Posts	Posted 06/26/2026 12:27 pm you posted 2 different coins in one topic, but we cannot see the dates of the 2 dimes, so it is VERY difficult to comment on either one. however the first image it looks like a circulation hit - damaged coin fourth image I'm guessing is the other dime - maybe a Greaser Collecting since 1972.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6611 Posts	Posted 06/26/2026 1:32 pm Dimes of that era often have the IN and WE flattening out and melting away towards the rim. Die Deterioration can be severe on dimes because the diameter is small and the lettering is super close to the rim gutter. On circulated dimes, that specific area along the rim is often scraped by coin wrapping machines. Report this Post to the Staff
