new england collector Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 08:46 am The reeding is thicker on one side and thinner on the other. Compared to other dimes it's thinner on one end of the reeding and thicker on the other. Edited by new england collector 07/07/2015 08:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 12:35 pm By definition, you cannot have the entire design present on an off-center error. Your coin is just a common misaligned die strike(MAD). Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/07/2015 12:45 pm The area between 8:00-11:00 is called finning. The die was just short of that area because of the MAD. This coin looks like the reverse setup up, with the reverse die being the anvil, and the obverse being the hammer die locations. (which is normal for the late coins) The setup of the press was incorrect with the adjustable hammer die being slightly out of alignment. The MAD coin only become collectable when part of the devices fall over the edge of the coin. (yours is a normal MAD though) Report this Post to the Staff
