SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 01:58 am I'm not all that knowledgable about this particular type of error, and I know that there are some cases of weak rims on dimes that are caused by something else and not of numismatic value, but this is the most significant I've ever personally come across and wanted to get the opinion of people here. To me, it looks very similar to this low-pressure/die adjustment strike attributed by NGC that's currently selling on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/404285337090 Edited by SamCoin 05/17/2023 02:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 07:38 am This appearance is more commonly found on 1985-D dimes, but the reason is probably the same for this one. The poorly struck perimeter owes most of its presence to inadequate upset and an excessively convex obverse die (a design flaw). The strike may also have been a tad weak, accentuating the coin's odd appearance. If the reeding is strong, that would affirm my diagnosis. Error coin writer and researcher.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/17/2023 07:47 am Thank you Mike! I knew there was some reason for these that I had forgotten. The reeding is on the weaker side, but hard to tell if that's just circulation wear. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/20/2023 02:35 am I like these dimes with Inadequate Upset. Here's a link to a post with my example. http://goccf.com/t/354227 What were the mints doing in 1985 that let them get away with quality control of this poor nature?
