The dime is also rotated on the reverse about 5° clockwise. Not sure what grade it is but I got it for $2 at the swapmeet. The last two pictures show the rotated reverse. Having it in the holder was the only way I could show it was rotated but the lights of my microscope show on the plastic.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that a rotation up to 15 degrees is acceptable by Mint standards. Dealers don't place much emphasis on any rotation less than 90 degrees. It looks like the "9" is PMD. Chris
Sorry but the 9 is damaged and the rotation is within Mint tolerance. You over paid by about 75 cents.
