    Looks normal to me. All kinds of things can affect the appearance of the final coin. Some have more rim on one side some edges are thicker on one side. Keep checking your pocket change and good luck! :)

    Is all the 'reeding' intact on the edge?

    Get yourself a few rolls of dimes from the bank and you will find others like this.

    The double rim above STATES on the reverse shows that the coin was struck very slightly out of center. This is not a big deal.

    The rim on the obverse is kinda more bold, with a deeper strike, but again it's not a big deal.

    As above, this is normal mint variance and no added value. Roll searching will provide many examples such as this.... It is still a lot of fun though... and now and then, a treasure will appear... Cheers, RickO

    It's not an error coin.

    A lot of 80s dimes had these problems and any difference in yours is negligible. It's what they looked like.

    You'll find rim issues and some small errors pretty commonly in the mid 80s to early 90s. There's nothing different about the coin but keep looking. Nice to see you around.
