I have a 2006 dime that has a couple things that I believe are errors on it. I believe the mis-shapening of it is done after circulation. There is a big mark on the reverse and the head on the obverse looks funny to me. I'd like everyones opinion on of these are errors or not. Thanks for readinh

Coin looks like it was heated and bubbled, then flattened down to spend it.

It is only an "error" if it was done during the minting process.
Anything done after that such as in your case is damage.
Rest in Peace

To CCF! You have a damaged coin. It's not an error at all. It was under heat, causing the surfaces to bubble. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). It's worth face value, since it's only a damaged coin.

@CN, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that this dime is damaged and can be spent.
