The dime has been smashed thinner. Is should also be a tad larger in diamater...stick it in a stack and set them on edge on a countertop with this one in the middle.

You can clearly see that the head is flattened almost all the way up to his hair part line.

It's just a beat up dime and, luckily not beat up too much, still worth 10 cents.

it looks like washing machine damage to me.

I compared the size to a role of dimes and it is exactly the same size just half as thin.

Someone told me it was broadstruck

Looks like someone ran it over a wet stone for a while. Nothing too special there.

This damage is typical of any coin that has run a few times through a washer or dryer. There also appears to be parking lot damage. This is my opinion based only on the images provided.

If you believe it to be a valuable error coin, please have it authenticated by an expert. Your local coin shop should be able to send you in the right direction should you decide to go this route.

if it's legit wear, you might get some lowball guy to buy it in PCGS/NGC plastic for a decent sum. Of course, who knows it it'd be worth the expense of getting it slabbed, but those lowball grade guys pay crazy money for lower grades. If it looks abraded, then it was either ran over, or stuck in the washer/dryer.

Taco Bell huh....

The dime has great value if you use to by a good fast-acting antacid.

Could be what you say but those errors aren't worth much anyway even in uncirculated condition
