I found a 1977 d dime with what looks like an edge infront of rosvelts face.
on the back the same type of small ridge goes around the leaves and torch almost giving what looks like a halo on the back. iam new to this error/varity thing so iam unsure if this is common or not. I only use my iPhone so I have no idea how to get pictures with a small enough file to post on here or I would. Edited by Kaboel

Images would help a lot to know for sure what you have.

If you can set you image sizes with software, the image should be in the 600-1000 pixel range. You might need a program to edit your images to this size before loading them to the site. Then upload them to an image host and then post the link here.

Any type of uniform circular mark/scratch on the face of a coin is most likely attributable to damage created by coin rolling and counting machines. Of course, pictures would be helpful to be sure.

That's what I'm seeing as well. They let some of the dies from this periodreally wear out.

Hmm, that is not what I pictured when you mentioned "halo". I agree with the two previous posters, it would be caused by die wear.

That is what I pictured when I read this. As John1 mentioned : Worn die that has been over polished. Where the deeper devices on the die was over worked, it made the fields reduce and leave the line around the head and the border of the central devices on the reverse. Spendable, but something of interest to a new collector.
