Minor error find in pocket change?

I received this 1995-P dime in change and threw it into a pile on my desk, rediscovering it after a much-needed cleanup. It appears to have the normal diameter, but the edge thickness varies from about 1.6 mm at 7 o'clock to 1.1 mm at 1 o'clock (versus 1.35 mm nominal). The obverse rim is also deeper from about 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock, and there is an arc impressed in the fields inside the rim in this area.
If this is a mint error, what is it? Is it worth more than 10¢!? Thanks!

The obverse (top) die was very
slightly misaligned in the coining
chamber- that's why one side of
your coin, at the 7:00 position,
has a slightly 'wider' rim.
A fairly common occurance -
An interesting (to some)
converstation item -
Worth a buck or two if you find
someone interested in it.
Hope this helps.....
