Hi
Welcome to ct.

I believe they call it a mad ( miss aligned dye-strike )

The experts will be on here shortly to give a better explanation.

 

Yes, definitely looks like a minor misaligned die strike. With the condition of the coin, and being a minor mint error, it will probably be worth face value.

 

Agree to above. Looks like a minor MAD.

 

A MAD would be out of alignment on just one side, wouldn't it? Isn't this an off-center strike?

Shouldn't be an off-center, since none of the coin design (characters or Roosevelt head) is missing. As for your 2-sided MAD question, I believe it is possible (have seen examples in ATB quarters), but let's hear what others say. On the other hand, I have bookmarked an informative old CT post regarding MAD. Well worth reading. Here it is:

Thanks for posting this. I don't collect them, but this does help to understand them better.

Yes thank you I’ll read up on this

 

If the dime has full reeding on the edge,
then yes, it's also a minor MAD on the reverse.
