DDerolf New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 10:08 pm Hello, I had a question regarding this dime. It appears to be very off center, but I can't find much information online whether or not this is considered an "error". Sorry for the pic quality it's as clear as I could get it with my phone... :( Any help is appreciated, thanks! * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95755 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 10:14 pm Please, if possible, remove the coin from its 2x2 for better, clearer images. Just be careful when handling them Now onto the coin, Without seeing the reverse, it could be 1 of 2 things, an off center strike (not punch) or a MAD strike. (Mis-Aligned Die) Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95755 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 10:37 pm thanks, the photos are not ideal, but This coin is an off center strike. But not enough to bring in any premium. The lettering around the edges need to be falling off the edge to be of any increased value. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 07/03/2022 10:38 pm Yep, I see a minor off center strike also, interesting to keep, with Dearborn. If the OCS were more prominent, the devices on the coin could begin to fall off and then begin to pick up collector value. Edited by mrwhatisit 07/03/2022 10:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34406 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 06:29 am @dde, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like only one side of this dime is off-center, so I would call this a mis-aligned die (MAD) error rather than an off-center strike.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95755 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 08:38 am Jimmy, the rim is thinner near the D in dime and thicker 180 degrees from that, which at best may make it a dual MAD...

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 10:10 am MAD indeed. Not uncommon. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 11:02 am MAD? Yes. Extra premium? No, too minor. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/04/2022 12:26 pm The MAD coins that have a premium will show a weakness on the reverse designs opposite that area: The mis-alignment of the strike doesn't make the opposite side strike up, because of the location strike over the wrong target area.
