<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1029029, member: 112&quot;]I agree with Hobo, a broadstrike isn&#039;t common at all. But being slightly off center is extremely common. And not just with dimes, it&#039;s extremely common with all denominations. Thing is, most folks seldom notice it. But if you take the time to look closely at the rim of almost any coin, more times than not you&#039;ll see that the rim is slightly larger on one side, and thinner on the other.</p><p><br /></p><p>A coin being well centered is even a grading criteria, it should be the very first thing you look at when grading a coin. Unfortunately, I would estimate that there are only a handful of people left who even do that ! To a large degree, I attribute that to the TPGs because they completely ignore it. It is only one of the many ways that TPGs have changed the grading process used today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
