Are they all low grade? In addition to the ones wquinn lists which are worth saving in almost any condition, I would add 1917-D, 1919-D and 1925-D are definitely worth setting aside in grades better than Good. Also, almost any pre-depression dime with a mintmark is worth extra attention in any condition better than Fine.

As for the "8" there is absolutely zero chance that it's an "8". That's simply impossible given how the coins are manufactured. It just looks like that because the coin is so damaged.

Can we get some more opinions?


I won't give you an opinion but I will give you facts. It would be impossible for an 8 to be in the date. A hub is used to create all working dies, the date is part of the hub so everything that is on the hub gets added to the dies. The only part of the design added to working dies would be the mintmark so there is nowhere in the die creation process to add a different number.

The date has been damaged along with the rest of the coin.
