Online Appraisal
D. Wondering if this is just damaged or an error. Thank You
Asked on Jul 22, 2025
Well, let's look at it and think about the minting process. Errors are things like an off center strike, wrong planchet, double die. A valuable error coin probably has no circulation wear, and is otherwise shiny and as minted. This dime is mangled. It looks like it was on the road or in a blender. I can't think of what could have happened by mistake at the mint that would lead to this. Short of depositing it at the bank, I can't see it being worth anything. Sorry, but that's my opinion!
