    That's what we call a "squeeze job", produced by squeezing two coins together in a vise. The giveaway is that part of the design is incuse (pressed into the dime) and reversed.

    Value ten cents, if you find someone who'll accept it as change.

    Looks like a vice job. It was squeezed between two other dimes to make it look like an error. Nothing more than post mint damage.

    Your coin was squished with another coin. Like jeffB said, you can tell because all the design elements are reversed on your coin.

    Step 1: stack 3 dimes together
    Step 2: hit the stack with a hammer
    Step 3: remove the middle dime from smashed stack
    Step 4: compare with dime you posted here
    Step 5: prepare to be amazed

    Step 6: Disagree with everyone on here because they clearly don't know what they are talking about.
    Step 7: Profit.

    Looks like a 1972-s Eisenhower dollar, enlarged from a much smaller JPEG image. Because of the image artifacts, I can't see anything else noteworthy about it; if there's a variety for that date that's easy to spot even from a fuzzy image, someone here should be able to chime in.

    Where did you find that image?

    How do you know it's an image and not a picture?? Sorry, bleed over from another thread haha.
    It seems like the way this thread is going it will end up like that one as well.

    I don't like Eisenhowers, but this looks normal.

    That is damage caused by the high pressure put on it.

    You only think you know what you're talking about. Oh, it is a real coin, all right! It's just that it was damaged after it left the Mint.

    Is there a list so we can see how many infractions one has accrued?

    I'm pretty sure you can't even see your own infraction count, never mind others'.

    If infraction counts were public, some people would treat it as a high-score competition.

    Just assume that we are all on double secret probation and go from there...
