I think it is post-mint damage but cannot be sure unless that Puppy was under my trusty loupe.

Never seen a dime like that before. Who knows what happened? The reverse looks post mint damaged. Maybe it got squashed? Very interesting for sure. Thanks

That is one jacked up dime. hey, why don't you try photographing your coins sidewise? That way when you post them they will right way around. Maybe?

I am not exactly sure what it is, but great find! I have never seen anything like it. You should probably do research to determine if that happened outside or inside the mint. Anyways, great find!

Nice find . Sharp eyes. I think this dime took a beating after it left the mint. If there is a dealer near you go there he will fill you in. It is interesting.

This is a great way to further your coin knowledge. Buy a Red Book, or if you have Amazon Prime there are free e-books you can get on almost any coin type. This will help you identify coin composition, weight, error varieties, etc. This is a fun hobby, but it takes knowledge that can only be gained through study, reading and hands on coin searching like you are doing now. You may want to take a regular Roosevelt Dime and place it side by side with the coin pictured, you may be pleasantly surprised.
