Is this normal?

[John Martinez]

Since I started collecting coins, I've been looking at my pocket change. I ran across a dime that on the left has a large rim, and on the right little to no rim. It looks as though the strike was offset somewhat. My question is, should I get excited or is this a fairly commonplace?

Thanks.

Sorry to disapoint,but these are fairly common.If it was a bit more drastic,yes you should get excited.

[John Martinez]

Thanks for the reply, and as I stated in my other post Thanks for your willingness to share.

Oh, yes. I have a set... 1990D and 1991D same feature. Think I'll keep them only if the value is in my pleasure in viewing them.

Thanks again.

this is common and normal just a ever so slightly broad struck coin

 

but it is cool and also that you can see and pick up on different kinds of coins in circulation and if you keep looking you might find something really good

It is a common phenomenon, and the coin falls well within the mint tolerances for a business strike.

 

Don't give up looking though!

Is the reverse normal and centered better?

[John Martinez]

Yes. The reverse is normal and centered.
