Can anyone help tell me what's going on with this dime? I assumed PMD when I saw the indention on the obverse, but the perfect ring at the base of the reverse made me think some kind of minting error. I am just starting to learn about error coins and appreciate your understanding in helping a newbie.

The obverse is damage, possibly from a BB gun. But what's going on, on the reverse (bottom lower right) of the axe N/W above the D?

If you click on the cropped image of damage and zoom in a little, there is what looks like an s. Also, look to the left of the date.

"hole" was caused by a drill bit.

Was really hoping someone could explain the raised ring on the reverse at the base of the axe. Or what looks like a Q popping out to the left of the date. Or what looks like a s sarrif to the right of the damage.

PMD of some sort. It's still silver though, so it's worth silver melt value.

Ok, thanks everyone. I was sure with all the "hidden" letters, weird objects, cloth like texture to the neck, etc. that it was some kind of strike through. Oh, well.
