    This is fairly common. The die was slightly out of alignment. Interesting but not worth a premium IMO.

    I agree that it is fairly common, that the die was slightly out of alignment and that is not worth a premium. I don't agree that it is interesting. Don't waste your eyesight looking for extremely minor varieties or "errors".

    Common, minor mis-aligned die.

    Based on my experience, no error premium
    for this particular dime. They have to look
    'off-center' on the obv., even 3%-5%, to have
    any premium.

    LOL, apparently the CRH police are out in force. I don't know how anyone can find anything w/o wasting their eyes looking at everything. :p

    @Search66 You have a good eye for detail to catch something a minor as this and the INTERESTING THING ABOUT IT is you have learned something about coins because of it.

    My comment regarding wasting one's eyesight is not a joke nor is is something to be laughed at. I suspect I harmed my own eyesight back in the early 1960's by looking through thousands and thousands of coins during the early 1960's coin boom. Today, with the search for often microscopic "errors" or "varieties" the chance for eye damage may be even worse.

    IMO, eye strain comes with the territory. As I wrote above: I don't know how anyone can find anything w/o wasting their eyes looking at everything.

    Not of numismatic value (as stated above), however, you are noticing minor variations. Coin collecting is a learning experience... and it never really ends. Cheers, RickO
