I've been holding this dime for a couple of weeks. I look at it every day or two & just can't toss it. IGWT just looks too fat & distorted, especially TRUST. The coin is in pretty good circulated condition, so I don't think it's simply wear. I'd love to hear some opinions. Thanks!

I think it was the right call to hang on to it. Looks like worn notching but I'm not familiar with dimes. Interesting.

If you can take a similar image on another dime from the same year and mint mark with the same amount of die wear, you might be able to see how it compares with your coin. Circulation can flatten and alter devices. Coin wrapping also alters devices. But sometimes it is just the way all of the dimes looked that year or the die is worn down. Best if you can see a spread from hub doubling to think it is something.

I dug out a dime from my collection and the die state was much worse:
