Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 10:20 am This 1989p dime appears to be an uncentered broadstrike but I wanted to be sure. I was questioning myself to if it was a offcenter strike but all the devices are present. Thanks in advance for any replies or correction comments. Coindom76 Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 11:10 am That appears to be a strike by a Misaligned Obverse Die. (MAD) The reverse looks properly centered.

Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 11:18 am Thanks for the response petespocket55. It is actually flattened along the reverse edge too. I can attempt to get better pictures of the reverse to confirm. If it is a misaligned die strike, MAD, the obverse die must have been very misaligned. Thank you again for your response.

1847bill Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 2:27 pm Is the dime larger than a regular dime? I'm presuming a broad strike would have a larger diameter. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 2:32 pm Any hint of reeds would squash the struck out of collar theory. Note the rims are present, but weak. Thus indicating the collar was in place. What does the outside edge of the coin look like? Report this Post to the Staff
Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 2:44 pm @Coop,the reeding is intact and in good condition on this dime. So my question is on both sides the rim is affected so what would be the proper terminology be for what this dime is showing? Coindom76 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 2:48 pm Weight normal? If the weight is normal, then it maybe a Struck Through Grease issue. Edited by coop 03/15/2022 2:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 2:54 pm @coop, yes the weight is proper at 2.3 grams. When I compare thickness to another dime it does seem to be abit thinner. Edited by Coindom76 03/15/2022 3:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 5:02 pm Did some checking on this years design and seeing several to study a bit. Noticed the die wear and the Grease Fill looking almost the same. So your coin is from an aging die with some possible Grease Fill on the LI on Liberty. Circulation wear also altered the devices and rim a some also. So just a fairly normal coin. The circulation flattening on the rims is what were are also seeing. Not seeing a premium on this one though. The MAD is not enough for a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 5:11 pm @coop, thank you for doing research and this information. There it is then. I've never seen a rim flattened on both sides from die wear and a Grease Filled Die. Coindom76 Edited by Coindom76 03/15/2022 6:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coindom76 Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 6:18 pm @Dearborn, thanks for the response. I agree. There are other issues with this coin. I believe there is a clash involved with this dime as well. Coindom76 Edited by Coindom76 03/15/2022 6:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
