An Epson scanner with a postit note behind it. I have been collecting for decades but this is my first error coin. Wonder what it's worth?

To it it appears that the die has been over polished and now the date devices are thinned so much they are starting to disappear. The die flow on the fields tell me it is a VLDS and suffering form die abrasion. So it is the worst of the both things that can happen to a die. The polishing is making a hallo around the bust.

This coin is late die state with heavy flow lines. The Mint lapped or otherwise dressed this this die out to a degree that the characters are being swallowed up by the field.

Is this then considered an error or something else because the operator failed to do his or her job and properly clean up or change out the die?

No, it is a perfectly normal coin worth face value. When a die pair has to strike several hundred thousand coins, the majority of the struck coins will not be from nice fresh dies.

That is probably what the people back in 1922 said when the 1922 no d came about. This is the small date variety in the future. I would keep it. Lol. It might not be worth anything though.

Great find. Might be a 2019 though and if it is, just a normal 2019 Dime.  regardless of what anyone says, coins like this are always selling for quite a lot at coin shows. At one coin show I go to a dealer has an entire album of such coins and they do sell. |

A coin from the future? Well at least in the future we still have coins!

I have found a few 2014 dimes with the frosted look to them but I have to say yours is a much better example. Here is a link for the 2014 dime. https://goccf.com/t/200372 |

This is die wear. I don't think there's any intentional die abrasion in the mix. Some recent dies -- mainly National Park quarters -- suffer from an unusual form of die wear that results in attenuation of design elements, rather than expansion. See this article: http://editions.amospublishing.com/...eteriorationError coin writer and researcher.
