    Im fairly new to coin collecting, my father was really into error coins so I'm always looking out for them.

    To the point, i found this 1988 Roosevelt dime while roll hunting. It looks like it was struck off center. On the obverse side it has a thick left side rim, on the reverse rim its normal. Thoughts?

    Misaligned, not off center.

    These coins are pretty much a dime a dozen, despite them looking kind of cool... Technically, they are indeed struck off center on one side, but the proper name for them is a "misaligned die error" or MAD for short.

    Thank you, I know it's not anything special, but still cool to find!

    Interesting find. Could I burden you to give me a quick rundown on what makes this error and year special?
