Strange Dime. Not sure what I've got.

Again, brand new to this. Was going through a few dimes this evening and found this one.

I know there are weird errors and such but I'm still learning how that works. I pulled it out and kept it because it's obviously different. It's a 1990 P. The back of it looks completely normal. Only the front rim is off center like that.

I knew it had to be worth at least 10 cents!

Re: Strange Dime. Not sure what I've got.

It looks like it's a minor misaligned obverse die. They really aren't worth anything until they're much more noticeable, and even then they're not worth all that much.

Here's a 1984-P quarter of mine that has a much more severe MAD error on the obverse. It's probably worth no more than $15. I actually have two of them from the same die pair.

Boy i'd give over 10 pennies for that incredibly mundane dime. from its perfect to spec dimentions to its normaly potioned letters that dime would be worth every cent.

Hahah. Seriously though thanks for the info!

There's so many things to learn about that are beyond the silver or not silver parts of CRH.
