pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 11:42 am For dimes, quarters and halves it is easy to tell if the coin is a MAD or off centered error. A MAD is struck in the collar and off centered errors are struck out of the collar. For these denominations the collar puts the reeding on the edge and forms the diameter. So a MAD error will have reeding plus be the correct diameter and an off centered strike will not have reeding. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is a pic of my coin's edge. I placed a normal dime on top for comparison. Thanks for all the help! Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 2:13 pm Your dime looks like it has worn reeding so I think this is a worn dime that is slightly uncentered on both sides but not enough to have a premium. Just my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 11:52 pm It weighs 2.3 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 10:43 am Normal should be 2.27 grams. I thought it looked a bit thinner in the image. But the thickness can't be judged by the rim. They can vary because of the upset process. The rims on your coin appear weak, but I doubt it was from being under weight. As it is still in tolerance.
