    Your coin is neither. It is damaged.

    So let me get this. The Rim was stretched to look like a broadstrike by coincidence?

    It looks like any other worn down dime in circulation. Sorry.

    So a broadstrike should not affect the lettering?

    In some cases yes, depending on how close any lettering of the legend or motto is to the edge. A broadstrike is created due to the absence of a retaining collar while it's being struck. In any good broadstrike example, the reverse will also exhibit the error, not just one side.

    A broadstruck dime, quarter, half, etc. (any coin with a reeded edge) will not have reeding because a broadstruck coin is struck outside the collar (and the collar is the die that imparts the reeding on the edge of the coin).

    The coin is not a broadstrike. 1985-D dimes are notorious for a poorly struck perimeter, especially on the obverse face. It results from a die that is too convex (a design flaw) and inadequate upset of the planchet (a planchet preparation error).

    I have to agree with you as I have several of them, at first I thought collar clash etc ... but after long research I learned what it was.

    Sorry I posted on wrong comment. I have a deep rim on north west (9 - 11) with flat on the south portion. Now I wish they had a premium on them as they are abundant in circulation.
