LOOK FOR OFFSET VERSIONS!
Hello all of you coin aficionados out there and Welcome to the DC Coin World
International Coin Channel today we're looking at the back or the reverse of the
United States One Dime or ten cent coin and if we look at the back it is the
standard back: United States of America at the top and over here we have an olive branch and
you can see some little olives on it here we have a torch and over here we
have an oak branch with some little acorns on it. Across the middle it
says E Pluribus Unum, the motto the United States of America and down here
it says ONE DIME now what some of you may have noticed is it looks like
there's a little tiny bit of a die break down here by the one on the dime there
is but it's really not of any value if you look at it a little closer if you'd
like see if we can get it kind of tipped in there and you can see it kind of goes
across here and there's a little extra material down there but it really this
this does not add any value to it it just means you looked at it really
closely and it was a tiny bit of a mistake made when they minted this coin
We tip it up on its edge we see it's a copper nickel clad copper so the inside
is all copper and then there's a copper nickel blend on the outside if we tip it
over to the front we see that it is a the 2001
D for the Denver Mint. Liberty in front of Mr. Roosevelt, President Roosevelt it
says In God We Trust under his chin there's another little bit of a die
break here but again these are of very little value and if you've got
to look at them that closely they're probably not good die breaks and you see
there's a little something up here but the difference between these and
somewhat of a scratched off and hard to tell underneath his chin you I mean
underneath his neck you see right next to the 2001 it says JS and that is
John Sinnock who was the engraver of both the back
in the front of this coin it says 2001 over here and you can see the 1 comes
really dangerously close to the touching the edge if it doesn't and there's a D
here now on some of these coins this is a tiny bit offset but some of these
coins are way way WAY offset and so the 2001 D is known for its many offset
varieties by offset what they mean is that the whole coin gets moved a little
bit to the right or to the left or up or down in most cases that I've seen on the
2001 D it's get moves a little this way so the part of the one gets some taken
up in the D almost touches and so these coins if you do have an offset variety
essentially they're going to be measured they're going to be priced based on how
far offset it is and you're going to you can look at some on eBay and there's a
actually there's one you might see on eBay where they have about ten of them
and there were all different levels of offset and so it's very kind of
interesting to kind of look at and see what an offset coin looks like and how
far off said it needs to be to make a certain value so in 2001 they made at
the Philadelphia Mint they made 1.37 billion of these at the denver mint
where this one is from so the D's for Denver they made 1.41 billion so
between the Philadelphia and the Denver Mint
we're talking about 2.8 billion and then in addition they made
essentially 2.3 million proof coins so this coin is never going to be rare
probably it's never going to have much value unless it's really really really
offset or there's some other error I mean you there are some clipped planchet errors
on here with is like a little bite taken out of them there are some where they're
they didn't get put on quite right there's one kind of interesting one
which just has a crack going all across here so that's the kind
the cracked planchet coin and that has a very interesting value it's probably not
worth much more than five or six bucks but it's just interesting to see what
happens when a coin gets kind of mixed up or messed up at the mint and it still
gets put out. So, if you're looking for these coins you may want to choose a
different year but if you want to find one from 2001 that is valuable that many
many people can find it's going to be that offset variety with a whole image
in the words and the numbers all moved to one side or to the other or sometimes
I've only seen one that got moved up and none that got moved down so take a look
for them they may have some value if they're really offset otherwise it's
just kind of a fun coin to have and we say good luck in your coin hunting from
