What's going on with the dime?

    Pulled this from circulation today. I don't collect error coins, but from the little I know, I'm guessing it's off center. Any ideas?

    Looks like it could be a broadstruck error to me.

    Looks like a MAD (misaligned die), or specifically a misaligned obverse die. If the coin has reeding it is not broadstruck.

    Yes, it has reeding all the way around. The reverse doesn't look as bad as the obverse.

    That would mean the coin was struck in the collar so it is not a broadstrike.

    Which is another indication the obverse die was misaligned.
