Found a dime that looks like it has a couple of errors. Looks like some letters are struck weakly or rubbed down and something is wrong with the edge.

A slight MAD (Misaligned Die) and a Struck Through Grease error. Nothing big. Spendable

If a coin has a big " Struck Through Grease error",(like almost the entire obverse), do you think that would be worth keeping?

Yes. But it sounds like it could also be a die cap which is worth a lot more then a Greaser. Post a pic please.

It looks like a stain. The top part of the head isn't creased is it? Hard to tell from an image.

No, it's not creased. So do you think the stain was just something that happened after it left the mint?

Yes. Something must have discolored the Dime. It happens. Or something like glue was on the dime it prevented it from turning the same color as the rest of the coin.
