Possible 2001 year of volunteers die misalignment and extra thickness?

3 сообщений
I was doing some coin roll hunting when I came across this 2001 year of volunteers dime which looked off. Upon closer inspection and comparison with a normal 2001 year of volunteers dime, I realised that the die press must have not hit the planchet in the center. There is more blank metal on one side than the other.

When I showed this to my friends, we also noticed that the thickness of this dime was double the width of the other 2001 dime (the one we used for comparison).

The die misalignment only occurs on the reverse side of the coin.

Can anyone confirm this error and tell me what the estimated value for this would be?

I took some close up photos through my jewelers loupe so it's easier to see.

Have you compared the weight of the two coins? If there was some issue at the time of striking, it could be that the rim is just raised more than it should be, but that the planchet is normal.

Yes, I will be weighing the coins soon. I have not been able to yet. I am trying to confirm the off-centre strike error.

Also, if the rim was raised more during the striking process, and the planchet isn't actually extra thick, would that be worth more as an error? I notice that looking through my change, most coins have varied widths, which I assumed to be just something that happens.

Does the raised rim add any extra value, and can you confirm the off-centre strike error?

Thanks,
