S-O XXX is right - it's a very minor
mis-aligned obv. die.

I'm not sure the weight of the dime but I just liked it cuz the rim seem to be wider on both sides and certain areas and I like dimes like that personally
That 1938 Jeff is in pretty nice condition for its age.
You have to wonder where it has been all these years
Good points in Fairly good condition I thought> @Type2 said:
I see it what's the weight on it?
I don't know I have to buy a scale tomorrow I feel like it might wait a little bit more because I set it on top of a normal time and it's wider and thicker
Be careful about judging thickness as a stronger strike can strike up the rim higher than on a lighter strike. Same amount of metal, just in a different place. Modern Denver coins seem to be stronger strikes than Philadelphia.

Nice nickel for 79 years old.... not sure what you see in the dime though.... Cheers, RickO
10 cents?
My guess is he is seeing the slightly misaligned die.
Quite common on Roosevelts, I usually put them in my 25-cent or 5/$1.00 bin at shows.

I'm buying the scale tomorrow but my guess is that it weighs more because it's wider
in radius and diameter than a normal dime
