Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 4:34 pm Have you seen this? Quote: a poorly-struck perimeter is pervasive among 1985-D Roosevelt dimes. It appears to stem from a combination of inadequate upset and excessive die convexity (primarily on the obverse die). http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-co...n-.all.html# Edited by Pete2226 12/28/2016 4:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 4:47 pm I think that I cannot do any better than Mike Diamond. In the quote above he has commented on the 85D Dime. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 4:54 pm I think his comment applies to your coin Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 5:04 pm Meaning that it is an inadequate upset? or that they are pervasive so it is actually extremely common? Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 5:07 pm I think it means it is a combination of inadequate upset and excessive die convexity and that this is common on the 1985D Dime Report this Post to the Staff
