A broadstrike? no I don't think that is the case here. Maybe a MAD or off center strike but not enough to add any value. I would have to see the reverse to determine if it is a MAD though.
Broad strike coins will be thinner and larger than the intended size. It appears that this is not the case.

What Do Broad Struck Coins Look Like?
Broadstrike coins have substantial abnormalities — so they're rather easy to identify:

They're usually thinner and wider than normally struck coins.
They will usually have an incomplete edge with a missing or misshapen rim.
There will probably be a lot of extra space between the inscriptions found near the rim of the coin (like the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" as seen on the obverse of a Lincoln Cent) and the edge of the coin.
They may be off-centered a bit or perfectly centered — though all of the design must be present in order for it to classify as a true broadstruck coin.

The '77 appears to reflect a slightly misaligned die

It's mis-aligned alright, but is it the die or the coin that is out of alignment?

@mpfanku no, none of these are broad struck. Broad strikes are significant errors that would stand out like a sore thumb. These are three completely normal dimes as far as I can see.
