Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 9:35 pm I got this dime in change today. One side of the rim looks fatter than the other side, is it considered an error? Report this Post to the Staff

Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 9:44 pm HT - this is a minor error, probably a MAD dime. But if the reverse rim is similar, then you may have an offcenter strike (also an error). To be of value, the degree of offset (MAD or Off-center) needs to be significant. Do a search on MAD or Offcenter and read up a bit. Lots has been discussed where here I do it little justice. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 10:33 pm This is extremely common on dimes. There's not much interest in them unless some of the devices are missing. I kind of think they're fun -- but they're only worth a dime. If you look up Misaligned Die on ebay you will (probably) see the ones that have some premium value. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/29/2015 04:38 am MAD, I personally think dimes in specific that are MAD's only demand a true premium when the rim is gone on one side. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 07/29/2015 7:25 pm I looked at three that are on ebay now and I think they all have less rim than yours. One looks very close to yours. So, maybe your coin IS worth a couple of bucks. Report this Post to the Staff
