Is this off center 1989 p dime anything worth keeping?

It's off center and it's got what I beleive are full bands. But here's some pics. Any advice or teaching would be appreciated. I'm new to this.

Its a mad aka misaligned die strike,doesn't add value still 10 cents.

 

It's a MAD

A definite MAD but I’d keep it. It only cost a dime.

 

So what's the deal with a MAD? (I've learned a new term!) It would be better if it was both sides? Ok, I'm gonna go look up articles about MAD.

 

If one of the dies is not secured in the die holder, it can slip during a strike and give a coin that is off-center only on one side. Not much premium.

 

Here’s some good information:

A Misaligned die only on 1 side. Not an Off-center because most of the design is still there. Cool enough to keep, but not worth too much.

 

Can you show the LIBERTY edge of the dime? I'm curious to see how the reeded edge looks there.
