Current melt for an uncirculated one is about $2.80.

I realize that. Sometimes if something seems off it may be worth it to spend a few extra bucks. Not a big deal.

It was on whatnot so I could only screenshot.
Understood.

Looking forward to you getting in hand and hopefully some better pictures.

Can't comment with those photos. The coin looks bent with a crease above Miss Liberty's head, and the bumped out area in STATES.

I know Whatnot and there are no deals to be made. Everyone seems to overpay on everything that sells.
Suffering from bust half fever.

Thanks for coming back with a better image.
Hard to tell what happened here - these dimes are usually so worn down.
It could have been a die chip that got worn flat along with the rest of the design elements.

odd, I don't see the re-punched date.

Even if that is what this is, it's nowhere near worth grading. It's only worth $15 in VF, which this coin is nowhere near. This coin is G4 at best; Liberty is obliterated.
