Welcome to the forum. It is always best to post pictures of both sides of the coin, and explain what you feel are errors. All I see is a normal worn damaged dime. Some of the lettering is a little weak, it may have been a minor grease strike, or it could be from wear. Hard to say for sure once a coin is this worn.

@erv, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree with @lcut, and would just add that there is an odd pattern of scratches on the torch and sprigs. This coin would be a spender for me.

A well-worm dime with some environmental staining. Would like to see a photo of the obverse. As it stands now, I'm not seeing any mint errors.

 to the CCF Right now I would say it is worth 10 cents unless the Obverse shows something else. |

Finally I can say that this coin is damaged - but most likely by non-intentional means. Just an unfortunate victim of harsh circulation.

What issues exactly are you seeing? As mentioned, please always show us both sides of your coin. From the reverse photo as shown, your dime has no errors, just heavy circulation wear.  |

Hi at first I thought exactly the same that it was normal wear but when I took a closer look with my machine those marks that look like scratches are not scratches on fact the run together in order with the original lines under the design only difference is that the lines are deeper on the design which those marks were made by a machine and not by man ...

Those are scratches, no way to know for sure how it happened, but there is no place in the minting process where it could occur. Just damaged.

Doesn't matter what caused them, it's all damage. Take a dime out and put it down on the pavement step on it and spin. You'll get the same results.
