    I'm really gettin into all the interesting things i notice on coins now, from readin the forum then searchin my own coins.. so far i think the only things ive found besides a few strike through errors, are these 3 off center strike dimes...
    i dont know if they even count, not sure if thats still within limits..
    the one on the top is shifted to the right, and that is some odd notch or something on the left below the L in liberty
    The middle seems shifted to the left, and the W in we trust seems almost off the rim, and i dont think its wear, cause its still got the grooves round the edge
    the bottom one is like the top, but a lil more to the right it seems.

    the backs look normal to me, but i can post them front/back individually if anyones interested...

    so what do you all think?

    These are considdered MAD Errors. That stands for Mis-Allined-Dies <Sp?>. The dies weren't centered over each other rigth and so the one side shows alittle off center look. While they are an erorr, the added value would be small if any.

    Correct spelling is misaligned. It's all one word.

    also, it seems to me that these are fairly common in dimes, with the slight offset you show,
    there would be no premium unless the offset was quite large.
