It very commonly happened. Usually the missing digit is the result of a weak strike or die deterioration or a combination of the two.
Could also be a minor struck through grease or other debris, although we won't really know until pictures are posted. Regardless of cause, such a minor error would not command much of a premium if any. Keep up the hunt!
the one on the far left is the 200 p dime. the other pics are pictures of a 1953 gold toned dime would it be worth any thing. besides melt value
The First dime is what is called a STG, struck through grease. I am no expert and usually I am on here arguing about some minor little detail on a cent. I have several STG's most of them are three cent nickels. I do have a couple of dimes also, not trying to cut into your post but here is a STG error. I say error but others say damage. I guess if the STG was bad enough to erase major features or complete words it might command a premium.
As far as the other dimes I would say tarnish. Weigh them or do the popsicle stick trick and see if it weighs more or less than other silver dimes. If it is heavier then an average silver then it may have something mixed in the alloy.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Tim! You posted this in a thread that is more than 6 years old. It will likely disappear from "Recent Topics" real fast. In the future, it's best that you start your own thread and include photos. Chris
