Really weird dime of unknown vintage

A regular customer came into the store and GAVE me this specimen. It doesn't have a date. I understand how coins can be struck in the wrong place, but how did this one get warped into this shape? Is it worth more than 10 cents? Less than 10 cents?

Is that a silver planchet? And it is an off centered strike dime. Definitely worth more than 10 cents but not going to make you rich. Maybe $10-$20. With off centers, it's not necessarily the more of center the more value its more based off eye appeal and having a visible date helps the value. Hope that helps and if you have any more questions please feel free to ask theres a lot of pros here that can help you with anything!

 

It's not silver. I am guessing it is fairly new.

 

$15-20 nice find.

 

Over $20, I'd say. What's the visible edge look like? Clad or uniform-color silver?

 

looks like copper on the heads side. I changed my mind this might be worth $40-60. looks 50% off. looks at these Ebay listings for a similar grade without a date. link : http://www.ebay.com/dsc/Coins-US-/2...ff+center+roosevelt+dime&_pgn=2&_skc=50&rt=nc

 

This is an exceptional piece. I might see your $40-60 and raise you another $20-40.

 

remember, theres no date, and that hurts the value of this coin

 

Nice out of collar off center strike.

 

Doesn't the reverse look like it might have been wiped or cleaned? I know the planchet can have a texture, but, the obverse does look different or unwiped. I don't think it's that new.

I would look at the auctions where people actually took the time to pull the trigger. Wishful listings an accurate price do not represent.

$7.50...

If I had seen that one, I'd have definitely run it up further!

 

Still, if an off-center no date cent can be picked up for $5 from a local shop, I bet $10 for an off-center no date dime is fair.

 

I would say If you can get a penny more than $20 for that particular piece (And want to sell it), take it. It is certainly not worth $50.

 

I got a check for $20.01 ready to go.

 

It's not for sale. It was a gift, and I'll always keep it (unless I can get an obscene amount of money for it.) Incidentally, it was given to me in a cardboard holder so it has been taken care of at least for a while. I don't know where the guy got it.

 

No problemo. But you have to call a bluff once in a while...
