halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1498 Posts	Posted 03/25/2025 6:33 pm Worn out die — common on 1980s Roosevelt dimes. Good eye, though, and maybe worth keeping as an example. Not worth a premium. 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.
