    I see no errors. All I see is a worn, circulated dime.

    Same here. It appears slightly MAD, misaligned die strike.

    I don't know what to think. If it's wear, the pattern looks strange to me.

    I just saw your thumbnail of the reverse. What does the reeding look like?

    This look is totally common for that year of dime. Some years are struck better than others. That year had a lot that look just like that.

    The reeding is in good shape. Ok just see the REVERSE side the lettering is also off and the steams are different. Ok its hard to know i found one on here people said error and other places. SO many different responses

    Thank you

    Two possibilities:
    -- thin planchet
    -- insufficient strike pressure

    A slight MAD but otherwise quite normal.

    @Trisia ...whoever told you it is an error is wrong. As of 18 July you have been a member for 9 months. If you read and understood the section “How dies are made” at doubleddie.com, John Wexler’s site, you would know that the wear and circulation damage on your dime could not be an error. That is 35 years of circulation wear and tear...Spark...(IMHO)

    Perhaps a tapered planchet?

    Could a few more error experienced members weigh-in? @Fred Weinberg, @paddyman98, @JCro57, others?
    I realize that circulation wear is going to be present, but I see a slight MAD with a possible struck through grease or severe die wear. I am focusing on the M and E in the DIME. Just my observations.

    I agree with Mountain Man also the pic's could also be closer to show more detail.

    Not an error, but it might
    have been flattened a bit.

    Look at his hair, and the rims
    at 12:00 and to the right of the date.

    Many 1985 dimes have that 'flat rim'
    look, and I thought this one was a
    typical example - but I also think
    there might be some PMD on it.

    Even if there is no damage on it,
    as I described, it's not an error coin.

    Ok so just normal coin damage. Common for that year.
