Junk drawer coin. A torch and some leaves on his face? Was this a new design? Am I seeing something else? No added value?

Just a damaged Dime. PMD. Worth 10 cents.

If you can find another coin like this, I will buy it for over 10 cents.

Looks like a "vise job", one dime pressed into your dime.

Just a severely damaged coin, I'm afraid.

Another error of the 1986 Rosevelt dime; I found this online. Is there more out there of similar coins and mistakes?

Unfortunately, these coins are not "errors".

Authentic error coins can often be confused with coins that have post-mint damage ( PMD). Such coins are damaged (gouged, scraped, etched, mutilated, flattened) after the final strike, (before or after leaving the mint) either accidentally or deliberately.

If the damage occurs at the mint after the minting process, for example in subsequent automated handling, it is still considered post-mint damage.

Corrosion, scratches, bending, dings, gouges, scrapes, etc... can, and often do, occur to coins in circulation and sometimes may be intentionally made to mimic mint-errors.

Yes, but that is way different than the coins for which you have provide photos. The first coin you posted appears to have been faked by squeezing two coins together in a vise. The second coin you posted is just scraped up, damaged, moved metal.

That coin that sold for $5,000 in 2022 does not show displaced, moved metal (damage), but rather one can clearly see the imprint of another coin. (Which, by the way, can also be faked, and would need to be certified by a TPG.)

For more info on the latest image you posted ($5,000 sold in 2022), it was certified by a Third Party Grading company ( TPG), specifically NGC.
The certified coin can be found on NGC's site:

Maybe I will send this coin to PSCG to physically see this coin; they are honest people. Scammers do wrong planchette?
