One of them was this dateless monstrosity. He gave me the dime which was very kind of him. The planchet is distorted and the strike is very off center. It's a clad dime, and appears to be uncirculated. Have you ever seen a dime (or any other coin) like this? About what is it worth (not that I'm going to sell it, as it was a gift)? This is one of the strangest coins in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/11/2014 1:22 pm That is a perfectly normal dateless off-center strike error. When this coin was struck, the collar was not in position so the planchet was not aligned with the dies. The collar is essentially a steel plate with a hole and it is positioned between the two dies. The collar defines the diameter of a coin and applies the reeding, it is also known as "the third die". Your dime is ~70% off-center and would be worth $5-10 with dated examples bringing a bit more.
