The entire reverse looks bigger the letters appear to be in BOLD print or something. The obverse side other then being misaligned appears correct! The dime on the left is the one we are talking about In the 3rd pic. Report this Post to the Staff

While this looks like an off center strike, the rim does appear to be of normal thickness at the bottom. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 02/21/2023 8:45 pm To me the dime on the left looks bigger, not smaller. It looks like it has been flattened out which would account for the letters being flattened and slightly larger. There is no way it could have left the mint being a different size. PMD of some sort.
