Hi everyone! I have what I think is a Dime from the 1960's but I can 't see the last digit. I think.... that my be a die error but I am no professional on these things. The weight shows 1.91 g. Not sure if this is a post damage or mint damage. Thank you in advance!

Is this a die error from the mint?
Is it worth having it graded?

Your dime looks like a Dryer Coin.

Not an error in any way, that is a Dryer Coin.
It is considered damage and adds no value.
