1993 Roosevelt dime mint error

the obverse side (front) isn't stamped in the center. Everything is there so nothing like his face, the date, mint mark, or words are going off the edge- but the little rim around the edge of the face that is usually even all the way around is noticeably wide on the left and then tiny-winy small on the right. And due to that- Roosevelt's face and all that is in between the rim is centered off the the right just a little. It isn't subtle like maybe a common coin would be. it is definitely noticeably off centered without magnification. Is this rare at all?

Ill get us some nice close-up pics here soon.

Welcome to CoinTalk.

We need a pic to understand what your error is. From your description it sounds like your coin may be off-center. Just so you know, it has to be off-center quite a bit before it would command a premium from collectors.

This is caused by a misaligned die.

Extreme cases sometimes attract some interest but usually there isn't a lot of premium attached to these.
