Here's an off-center clad Roosevelt dime. The date is in the area that's missing, so I have no idea of what it could be. I find it interesting that the copper core is visible in a few spots on the edge of the reverse. The area of unstruck planchet show heavy contact marks that occurred before the coin was struck during preparation and handling of the planchet. These marks would have been flattened by the force of the strike if the coin was a normal centered strike.  ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

@yoko, isn't the first digit of the date visible? Or is the thing that looks like a number one a pre-strike contact mark?

@Spence Yes, it shows a 1 as the first digit and a partial loop of a 9 in the correct place for the of the date. I did an overlay to confirm the position of the digits. The 1 is slightly distorted and the curved loop is just a slight suggestion of the shape due to metal flow, but I'm sure that's what I'm seeing.

Ok not a full date, but it is nice to be able to narrow the date down to a decade.

Cool find, especially for a dime. You don't see them very often. I always wonder how and why these off center strikes make it out of the mint.

@zur, yep looks like I posted that before the caffeine kicked in and was thinking that the third digit was a nine not the second digit. You are right though!
