1987 D Roosevelt Dime Large Thin Mint Mark.please Help

I have for many years now, argued, tried to make a point, tried to make something out of nothing just because I didn't want to believe what the pro's were saying. I mean why would I want to believe someone with years and years of experience over me, right? Bottom line is that you can't school the teacher. They know what they are talking about. Good luck with yoir rare coin. ......oh and "Thank you" to all the pros for helping me out all these years. ...God bless.

Here's my 1987-D dime in the cello pack from the mint set.



As you can see, my mintmark is TILTED! Does this make it rare or valuable? Nope. Not a bit. Tilted and slightly misplaced mintmarks are common on all coins before 1990, because the mintmark was put on the die by hand. No one can put it in the same spot every time. So every die that made 1987-D dimes had the mintmark in a slightly different position. Yours is a little to the left, mine is tilted, it is still considered normal and acceptable by the mint. The only time anything like this is worth a premium is if the mintmark is repunched over itself, or it touches part of the design like the date.

No one on this site is trying to steer you in the wrong direction. We are all trying to educate you and help you learn what is, and what is not an error. If you had something rare, we would let you know, because it's great to see when someone has found something nice. But if you show a coin you think is rare, and the experts say it is nothing special, you can take them at their word. Just because you haven't seen another like it out of the 80 or so you've seen out of 600+ million, does not make it rare.

Keep looking, keep asking questions. We are here to help, but we won't tell you that something normal is valuable.

U will see that the D is over the 7 spot on,over and over,because the few that punched that mark did do it right over and over for Dies,now no point for going over this with me again and again
All that needs to happen,,find 50 of the dimes like the one in the pic ok that simple,no one needs to go over anything other then that...the coin in the pic.I
do not care how rare it is,,I am not seeing any others at all,,I am sure if those had them
by now they would have posted them,,this is so simple post dimes like the one in the pic on page 1.
Funny thing every time I hear millions were made,great nobody seem to have one even close to the one in the pic,,guess what less then a .50 in change and this dime came in that change...
Coin hunting over 50 boxes Halves this year,over 50 boxes of Nickel,same with pennys,sure over 10,000 in dimes but I do not look at those boxes much at all,about same with quarters.I pull Notes as well..I have study Wexlers Site.Few other sites.I am who I am a Searcher I could care less about money,I found the dime its over and other items have been found in the last week,,but anyone that wants to prove what no pro has,,show me 50 dimes like the one in the pic,,its so easy to build rolls of D's tilted or right over the 7,Cosmos

U do not make any sense at all and seem very upset and not positive,,,if is just 100,000 then its rare when next to 600 million..Why would you even make a point like this
it makes no sense at all,,,wow,,,Cosmos

My challenge to you, is to find 50 of the EXACT same tilted D that I posted. I don't mean similar, I don't mean close to it. EXACT, from the same set of dies that made mine every time. You can't do it. Not without going through hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of dimes. That is why no one will find 50 of yours. It doesn't mean they aren't out there, it is just such a small percentage of the total that it is virtually impossible to do. Think of it: 600 million is a HUGE number, if there were 100,000 of your coin, that is .016%, which sure, that is a small number. But my tilted D dime, if there are 100,000 of those, is the same percentage.

By all means, keep your dime if you like it, but don't expect to get rich off of it. Eventually you will find similar things on other coins and dates, and the novelty will wear off.

Never said I want to make money from it,,nothing I find is for sale.Cello wow,,so now I have to find a roll,,ok no,,now there are dimes on ebay like yours maybe there is a slight different one from to next slightly,,,the dime in the pic on page 1 is not slight different its very different not slightly...U made no point the both of you and each of you did not show me one like the one in the pic I posted,,u both failed,,failed on showing me one and failed by not reading,I only want to see pics of the coin I posted,,,Cosmos

Excuse me while I go outside to have an intelligent conversation with a rock. You have no interest in understanding what you have, and you have no interest in listening to anything anyone is saying. I'm done with this thread.
