CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 2:14 pm I think it may be worn dies. No expert though Report this Post to the Staff

SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 3:11 pm Let me go compare it to another dime. I have no measury thingy. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 3:13 pm Same diameter as every other dime. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 3:18 pm As long as you are comparing, does ONE DIME look the same size as your normal dime. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 3:26 pm Ok, ONE CENT, is ever ever ever so lightly thicker. The dies are made like that too. As the incuse devices go inwards they get narrower. Witch would indicate that the design did not completely fill the die. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 07/11/2015 5:03 pm Most 1985-D dimes look like this. It's caused by a combination of inadequate upset and excessive obverse die convexity. This particular set of dies was also worn. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
