Is this an error Dime?

  1. Ok...still new at this, but I am wondering if this is an error Dime or just damage. I'm still having a hard time telling the difference. So if anyone can let me know that would be awesome. Thanks everyone!

    That looks like the kind of "blistering" that sometimes happens when a clad coin gets in a fire -- tiny amounts of gas trapped between the clad layers try to expand, exerting pressure, and if the pressure gets high enough or the metal gets soft enough, it blows a bubble. (Or it could be that someone just pounded the coin; I can't quite tell from these photos.)

    In any event, I'm afraid this one's damage, too. But keep up the hunt!

    Not an error. It was subjected to heat and it CSA used the blistering that you see.

    Extreme heat affected the clad layer.
    Not a mint error of any kind.

    I agree with the others on heat damage. I have a quarter somewhere that has a bubble in it.

    It’s just damage. A strong acid could even cause that.

    Presumably corrosion looking at the edge maybe.
