There's obviously wear on this dime after 43 years, but it seems like the main culprit is an extremely overworked die. It looks like the obverse has been over polished looking between his nose and eye and E Pluribus Unum looks like it's about to become one solid line. What are your thoughts. I'm putting this in the collectible pile.

It's a great example of Die Deterioration. I would definitely keep it, since it's so cool. Those dies were way overworked! Nice find. Reminds me of my 1982 LMC with severe Die Deterioration. https://goccf.com/t/322204

Wow, your coins a mess too. If the mint wants to start saving money the y should stop minting dollar coins they're storing in vaults and concentrate on replacing dies!
