Kasseem New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 11:41 am I have this 1985 D dime and it has some sort of error but I'm not sure which one. Can you please tell me which type of error it is and how much it is worth. If you need more details from the picture let me know and I will try. Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 12:38 pm I think your images are too small, we need better images, and perhaps you can direct us to exactly what you are thinking is the Error? I looked at the images, and what I see is a worn 1985 dime. literally these are a dime a dozen..... Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 4:09 pm to CCF. 1985 dimes are known for a weak strike/grease filled die,that and being well circulated makes it worth a dime. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 4:10 pm Kasseem to CCF I don't think anyone can see enough of the coin to decide if the coin is anything more then normal damage if its not the 5 in date or edges. But even in that resolution and size looks like normal wear and tear with Grease Filled Die TIP if your crop the image around the coin first then use the image optimizer you should get a better size and resolution image.

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 07/17/2014 4:24 pm Rookie here putting kidding aside for the moment, the coin yes has some wear, but looks like a possible weak strike or could be grease filled die(s). I think I see weakness on both obverse and reverse (including mid and lower devices) and lack of a prominent rim makes me think heavy circulation wear or maybe under weight or thin planchet as well. Pics are clear, but close up pics and weight may help. Wait for the dime experts who can provide a more accurate assessment. Thanks, Doug. PS: I'll take dozen for a dime any day!
