Nice analysis of the dime. Solid error coin.

@yoko, isn't the first digit of the date visible? Or is the thing that looks like a number one a pre-strike contact mark?

@Spence Yes, it shows a 1 as the first digit and a partial loop of a 9 in the correct place for the of the date. I did an overlay to confirm the position of the digits. The 1 is slightly distorted and the curved loop is just a slight suggestion of the shape due to metal flow, but I'm sure that's what I'm seeing.

Ok not a full date, but it is nice to be able to narrow the date down to a decade.

Cool find, especially for a dime. You don't see them very often. I always wonder how and why these off center strikes make it out of the mint.

@zur, yep looks like I posted that before the caffeine kicked in and was thinking that the third digit was a nine not the second digit. You are right though!

Before reading the discussion (and with no reference materials in hand) I was going to guess 1980s due to the quality of the strike. Starting in the 1990s, it seems like a trend toward more crisply struck dimes began.
