Hey Community so I found this 2020 dime and the more I look at it don't know if it's just me but in the obverse side I seem to see another face by the words liberty and the reverse I see something behind the original design but can't make out what it is if y'all can give me you're opinion on what you think.... Thanks

The scratch is about the same size as the nose and then that dark spot running from the scratch to the post of the R might have made me look twice.

Knowing how the minting process works is a great help to those hoping to find coin errors.

Extra design elements, faces, words, etc. are impossible to appear on a coin due during the minting process b/c of the way coin dies are produced.

Seeing things on coins is like when people see a cloud that looks like a ______ (fill in the blank). Finding recognizable shapes in randomness is a common thing to our minds and is known as Pareidolia.

Fire damaged coin. Note where the bubble were on the coin. It was flattened so it would work in a vending machine. Thus the distortion of the dime on your coin. Just a damage spender coin:

A damaged coin is spendable coin or a melt coin if it is silver/copper. Clads? Spendables.

I agree, this coin is just damaged.
