I am relatively new to roll searching and coin collecting. I recently searched a box of dimes and ran across this one. I don't know if it's an error or just something really worn. It doesn't seem like it's worn to me since the other side looks fairly decent.
Sorry about the picture, this was my first attempt at coin photography.

Cool find! Now, what is it?

The obverse is a misaligned die. Notice how the "WE" is right on the edge and the coin has practically no rim there at all, while at the other side it seems to have more than its share of rim.

On the reverse....interesting. It could be struck through a huge glob of grease, but I don't know for sure. Let's see what others might think.

Is that a die clash on the obverse as well? Above the date, running parallel with the neck line.

Great find - I'm also anxiously awaiting to hear the verdict from the experts here! Thanks for sharing this.

A bit of MAD going on with the obverse and looks like a bit of grease strike through on the reverse. I like putting these in a 2x2 and showing the grandkids. They always get a kick out of it.
