Not quite sure what caused the bubbles but it
would have happened after the coin was struck so
it would be classed as a damaged coin, not an error.
Maybe another one of the members might have an idea
as to what caused the bubbles.

to CCF. Looks like a lamination by Y in LIBERTY. Not sure about the bubbles. Need clear photos.

the bump or bubble on the obverse seems to correspond to what looks like an attempt to hole the coin; above the "e" in dime appears to be an incomplete puncture

I agree with ironhorse: the coin has an attempted puncture. What you have is a damaged, circulated common-date silver dime, worth the value of its silver content.
