    Question. Is there anyway to tell how off center this is ?

    Looks more like a Broadstruck Dime.

    To be a true Off Center strike, part of the
    design elements need to be missing.

    If there is a blank area on the struck coin,
    but all of the outside lettering is there,
    even with metal flow, it's considered an
    uncentered broadstrike, or just a broadstrike.

    Here's what the edge looks like ( I thought it was damaged for a sec. ) .

    It's ok.. I remembered that both Off Center and Broadstruck are struch out of the retaining collar (3rd die) .. I say yours is definitely a Broadstruck with none of the lettering missing. Still neat.
    Great pictures by the way ;)

    Broadstruck or O/C, it's a nice find either way!
