What is the value ?

Hello from Norway =)
What will this dime have of value in US dollars at a normal auction?

Greetings Leif, A date goes a long ways towards a descent premium on most off centers. I would give somewhere around 15$ for a coin like that.

 

Hei ! Welcome to the Talk . Nice Off center .

 

I paid something like $5 for a specimen I own, but as Pickin notes, having a date (mine does not) adds to the value.

 

greetings on new years day from my little part of the world.

i don't have the coin in hand, and i do not ever grade from photos.
with that caveat, i am not certain it is not a post mint piece.

don't hit me. i like norway, especially the womens swim team.

 

How can that be a "post mint" piece?

 

The U.S. Mint has a monopoly on the production of coins in this country. The only way this error occurred was during the striking process at the Mint.

 

i will have to disagree with the second sentence in entirety.

the first sentence is generally correct, for legally issued coins. not so much for counterfeit.

 

fabrication.

 

So what makes you think that this was struck with counterfeit dies?
Unless you mean something else with the statement of fabrication?

 

not dies.

 

I don't think it would be that economically advantageous to counterfeit dimes nowadays.

 

it is not counterfeiting a dime. it is fabricating an error that is then sold for a significant profit over the cost of time and effort and materials.

 

So far I am not hearing anything from you except doubt. There is nothing out of the ordinary about this off center. It is a copper clad planchet and the design elements match a dime from the time period. Nothing to me says this is a fabricated error.

 

Nor would it be economically advantageous to fake a common error coin.

 

It's an Off Center strike. Value from $10.00 - $20.00 US. Nice example.

 

Hi Charlie.. It seems to me that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Everthing you stated on this thread is gibberish. I also say it's a normal Off Center strike Dime. I've seen hundreds over the years. I don't understand the points you are trying to make.

All that was needed was an answer to the OP's question. Nothing else.

 

It would be interesting to know if the planchet is silver or clad. From the dark color and the hint of copper on the reverse edge near the torch, I'm guessing clad. That would at least identify it as Pre/Post 1964 and affect value to some small degree.

 

You can see a little copper on the reverse picture, so it is a clad dime, not silver.

@Leif Erik Johansen I don't see anything that would indicate your coin is a fake. It's a nice US dime error approx 50-60% off center. I agree with the potential value range that knowledgeable error collectors have posted

 

Some copper showing on the reverse. This looks to be a legit offcenter strike.
