I'm still a few months new to collecting, but this seemed like a crazy amount of die chips for a new dime. Is this fairly common from Philadelphia? I'm on the west coast now, and don't really see this out of the Denver dimes rolls that much.
I got tired of placing arrows on the picture's too, there are more on there...
These dies were probably not tempered correctly. If this is not done correct, the die becomes brittle. shows die chips like your coin. To brittle, and it will crumble/break a lot quicker. Some years has several examples of these.
