I was going through my old coin collection and found these. They are struck slightly off-center. Are they worth anything?

No, those are pretty common. They only really start to gain value if it's off center enough were any of the lettering or design is off the planchett.

Nope sorry Have you ever tried Coin Roll Hunting? If you get a box of dimes you will find a lot of those

No added value, but I would pick the most off center one to keep. Flip the dimes over, if the reverse is also off center, the coin is a true off-center error. If the reverse looks like a normal dime, the error is a misaligned die. Neither of them command a premium or are rare, just kinda interesting.

Do any of these dimes have a partial collar (partially reeded edges)? If so, they may have a little bit of a premium. But even with this error they're not worth much.

Misaligned hammer die obverse (reverse would be fixed anvil)

Unless the obverse and the rever4se both show the same off center and at least a portion of the details is off center (5-10% minimum?) there is no added value and I don;t think a TPG would even attribute but then again most of them will take your money and put whatever you want on the holder for the right price.
