I can't really zoom or anything on it but I can see where the 1 was so its PMD (regular wear) for me.

This is a heavily circulated dime and is nothing out of the ordinary. Due to its extreme wear, its value is based on the silver content which is about $2.20CAD at the moment. An easy way to determine that this is wear is to also look at the word "CENTS" which is also heavily worn to the point of being somewhat illegible.

The entire coin can never wear completely even, some digits will be erased before others. Just my opinion though you can always keep it if its significant to you :)
