Just trying to figure this out, pretty sure it is a strike through error. It is on both sides of the coin. I have never even seen one of these let alone found one in my pocket. Any advice on what to do with it would be greatly appreciated.   |

Thats what I thought also, but you cant see it so well in the pictures. If it was just damaged it would have less metal but it looks like the extra volume is there just pushed out of the way.

I would agree something terrible happened to your dime. However I think the dime has suffered damage after leaving the mint.
Keep looking.

looks like it was heated up, that would explain the enlarged areas ,

We call these "campfire coins" as high heat causes this bubbling between the layers on clad coins.

Nobody has mentioned this, but in your title you say you have an Eisenhower error coin, but what you actually have is a damaged Roosevelt dime. I agree with what others have said though, that this most likely is a fire or heat post mint damaged coin. No premium I'm afraid, just a damaged coin.  to the CCF!  |

Thats done with heat. Possibly a small butane torch. Very handy but not for coins...
