I need to know what error it is, if it's worth getting slabbed, and how much it's worth. Thanks to all because the only thing I know about this coin is that it's a dime.   |

Sorry but it is just damage.

Yeah sorry to say it looks like it was caught in a rolling machine and ground down  I got a dime in a nickel roll once, always nice to find something different  |

CC12 - looks like PMD but the obverse does raise a ? or two. You might want to take some measurements, maybe with a caliper, to see if the features that are clear and present are in the right spots. If so, PMD is likely the answer. Let us know what you find. |

I think it is a Broadstruck or similar error coin. I don't think it is worth getting slabbed. A look at the reeding would help. I had a broadstruck/partial collar dime one time that was damaged looking but I think the damage happened when it was being made or possibly after when it went through a counter.

If it were damage you would think more copper would be showing.

It is not an error, just PMD. Reeding is seen around the coin so it is not broadstruck, just smashed and scraped. |

I could conceivably see this happening if the coin were used underneath a very heavy, round tubular table leg or something similar.

Nobody has asked about the weight.
I think that is critical in this case.

How could Liberty end up under the so called damage? I still think it is an error of some sort unless the area I am speaking of is not raised. Closeups are needed. The reverse really does look like damage but the obv. has me curious. Also if that is a PMD gouge on the obv. wouldn't copper be showing? |

An arc of LIBERTY was flattened and then scraped. The obverse gouges are not severe enough to expose the copper core, clad is much thicker than plating. You can see a small portion of the copper core exposed @ONE on the reverse.
