1997 Dime On Foreign Planchet?

Looks like a normal dime planchet to me, for why it's weird, it looks like a Dryer Coin to me. Somebody messed with it which flattened the reeding a little, pushed the edges up, and increased the rim height.

In terms of doubling, I see what you mean, but doubling isn't my skillset, so I can't comment there. Seems it to me FWIW.

Thanks PNWType. Maybe someone will answer the doubling question for me. Thank you

Can you give us the weight?

Weight is within tolerance, the doubling you see appears to be DDD.

Unfortunately whatever caused the edge to be rolled like that was done outside the mint

To determine if it is a Dryer Coin, take a pair of calipers, or better yet mics and measure the thickness inside the rim, preferably from the center. You can also measure the diamater of the coin itself. If it is exactly the same diameter as a normal coin, or if the thickness is noticibly different than a normal coin, you might have a different planchet.

The problem is that people can be very conservative and if something looks like something they have seen that is not an error, they tend to see the common rather than the possible.

Your coin might very well be a dryer dime, but simple quanitative testing will rule that in or out. No use ignoring a potential error because it resembles something else.

Spooned or Dryer Coin like previously stated. You can see in the first picture how tall the rim has gotten from the "extracurricular activities"
