Roagan New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 08/08/2021 09:10 am I'm new to coin collecting, I've been looking at mint sets and found a few off set dimes. Nothing to severe but one edge flattened other fat. I'm assuming this is fairly common since I've found three So far? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Roagan 08/08/2021 6:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12258 Posts	Posted 08/08/2021 5:51 pm I believe coins with the characteristics you describe are fairly common; I've come across literally dozens of dimes in circulation with the same appearance you describe.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95149 Posts	Posted 08/08/2021 7:08 pm Looking at the coins you posted up are normal all worth .10 cents each. What you should be looking for is an offset so far that the devices on the edge of a coin has moved off and is no longer visible to have a premium and be collectable. Collecting since 1972.

Yes thanks that's what I thought I just wanted to confirm cause is see similar dimes on ebay trying to sell for extra money and I don't trust ebay sales alone for learning!

Just because somebody lists a coin for $5000.00....doesn't mean he's going to get it. Report this Post to the Staff
