coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/20/2011 8:39 pm Are there reeding on the rim of the coin? If so, it is just smashed. If they are not there they could have been sanded off or a real broadstrike. You might check the rim. Also look to see if the silver flows farther over the rim than a normal dime.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 01/20/2011 11:10 pm Yup...broadstruck is struck out of collar = no reeding. It would also be larger around than a normal dime. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 11:38 am The coin is not damaged, nor is it a broadstrike. This is a typical appearance for 1985-D dimes. The poorly struck design rim is a consequence of excessive die convexity (a design flaw) and inadequate upset at the Denver Mint. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 11:55 am Thanks for the update Mike. I hoped you would chime in. You've seen a lot more errors than most of us, but the difference is that you know what can happen more than the regular collectors know about. Is their any premium for a coin like this over face? I know the original poster would like to know this. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 01/21/2011 12:11 pm There's no premium associated with this appearance, since it characterizes the majority of 1985-D dimes. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
