    If you're talking about the rim thickness difference -

    it's the result of a very very minor, and common,
    mis-aligned obv. die.

    In general, a MAD coin should 'look' off center to
    have any premium, even small.

    This dime is not a sufficient MAD to be collectable
    or have an error premium, in my opinion.

    Please mention what you see as the error on the
    coin, so we know where to focus.

    No added numismatic value.... Do not be discouraged though... looking closely is how valuable coins are found. Do study reference material such as the Cherrypickers Guide, Redbook, Coinfacts and other sources. Cheers, RickO

    research the coin and see what kind of errors are known for that type of coin, books and online reading will help in that area
    that way you have the info you need to figure if it's a very minor or a major error
