I came across this 2014 dime today, and I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at. It looks like there is some doubling on the "2" and the "st" in trust, but it also looks like some form of die cap/brockage error. The Back looks normal. Can someone help me identify what exactly I have here?

Looks like a very worn die issue to me.

This is a form of Die Deterioration designated "design-devouring die wear". It's characterized principally by the field portion of the die retreating to the deepest levels of the die's recesses.

Also appears that Machine Doubling also had a hand in this. (Note the bases of Liberty?)
