Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74197 Posts	Posted 09/04/2018 4:05 pm That's Die Deterioration (die wear), caused by a worn die. The die was in a Very Late Die State (VLDS), when it struck your coin. Just a die that was showing its age, breaking down, and was almost ready for retirement soon. Errers and Varietys.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/04/2018 4:18 pm A slight MAD as well. Hard for me to think of a 1985 dime as old. Edited by Coinfrog 09/04/2018 4:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 09/04/2018 4:28 pm Obverse seems a bit misaligned. Are the reeds normal all the way around the edge? Later die states don't typically add value, but does add character. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/04/2018 5:02 pm A die only lasts a short time. Sometimes for one million coins or less. Can last for days or hours. Depending on how long it is used. So we are taking die age, not coin age. The 1985 dimes are posted a lot here. Same issue. Weak strikes.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74197 Posts	Posted 09/04/2018 7:42 pm It's not a Broadstruck or a Doubled Die Reverse. These are the real deals. http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrikes/ http://doubleddie.com/1570139.html Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
