Its a 1939d Mercury dime. Can't find anything on it. And was wondering if it's worth anything.

What error are you asking about? The bump on Mercury's head?

I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention.

Thank u. And the reverse has a good tilt to it. Was wondering if that's common. Soory about the bad pic. But when talking the pic it turned them sideways.

If you meant the rotation, it is normal unless you have one more than 10 degrees.

-Or-

Good tilt? Do you mean its bent? If that's the case, it is Post Mint Damage. Judging from the pics, it is properly the former case in point you are referring.

As a general rule about 25% to 30% of all Mercury dimes have some sort of tilt on the reverses. If you put Mercury dimes in an Album where you can see both the front and back, and the fronts are all lined up, then when you turn the page sometimes more than half look all tilted.
