Re: Dime error
Heat damage.
Sorry, this is just post mint damage.
When people see a crack in a car's windshield, they don't automatically think the car came off of the assembly line that way.
Coins need to be approached in the same common sense way.
Until ebay shyster auctions and clickbait online videos were as ridiculously common as they are, most people didn't let excitement over possibly hitting a jackpot (not saying you specifically are) interfere with seeing coins the same was as they would the windshield mentioned above.
People have been sensitized by online shysters so that the idea of "Rare error coin," instead of "How was this coin damaged?" is very prevalent. Don't feel badly b/c you are not alone.
We get a lot of people asking this kind of thing daily.
The reality is almost every odd looking coin is going to be PMD or something inconsequential to the coin hobby.
