MemePods New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 9:21 pm It's just from being worn down so only worth 10 cents per dime Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19622 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 9:21 pm These appear to be common, circulated dimes, with photos taken using warm lighting (hence, the white balance is a bit off). The '77 appears to reflect a slightly misaligned die and a hint of Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21921 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 9:24 pm That's normal die wear on most Roosevelt dimes. Nothing special Report this Post to the Staff
halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1538 Posts	Posted 05/23/2021 9:33 pm Philly-minted dimes of that era carried no mint mark — normal for the 1970s. Report this Post to the Staff

mpfanku New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 05/24/2021 12:59 am Hi, My first time on this site was rough too! I see 3 dimes that all have different rims. The last dime is a broadstrike. A die error. Is any of the reeding was missing? Are the design elements all still there on both sides? What do you think everyone? Report this Post to the Staff
lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 1677 Posts	Posted 05/24/2021 04:26 am All seem normal, no broadstrikes. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 107987 Posts	Posted 05/24/2021 08:03 am A broadstrike? no I don't think that is the case here. Maybe a MAD or off center strike but not enough to add any value. I would have to see the reverse to determine if it is a MAD though. Broad strike coins will be thinner and larger than the intended size. It appears that this is not the case. Quote: What Do Broad Struck Coins Look Like? Broadstrike coins have substantial abnormalities — so they're rather easy to identify: They're usually thinner and wider than normally struck coins. They will usually have an incomplete edge with a missing or misshapen rim. There will probably be a lot of extra space between the inscriptions found near the rim of the coin (like the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" as seen on the obverse of a Lincoln Cent) and the edge of the coin. They may be off-centered a bit or perfectly centered — though all of the design must be present in order for it to classify as a true broadstruck coin.

Dearborn Moderator United States 107987 Posts	Posted 05/24/2021 11:54 am It's mis-aligned alright, but is it the die or the coin that is out of alignment? Collecting since 1972.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/24/2021 2:27 pm @mpfanku no, none of these are broad struck. Broad strikes are significant errors that would stand out like a sore thumb. These are three completely normal dimes as far as I can see. Report this Post to the Staff
