It's essential to have it in the title. * I was going through some change and I believe I found a weak strike on this 1985 D Dime. I looked online for comparisons and found some that look very similar. Is this an error that adds any value or is it even rare? Report this Post to the Staff

This is a typical appearance for 1985-D dimes. The poorly struck design rim is a consequence of excessive die convexity (a design flaw) and inadequate upset at the Denver Mint. Errers and Varietys.
