    This dime has part of the nose missing on the obverse and raised areas on the reverse.

    The nose issue is likely due to an overpolished die. As for the reverse, take a look at there the obverse design lines up to it and tell us what you think.

    Looks to me like there are two damaged spots on the obverse where the raised areas are on the reverse.

    Compare the shape of the reverse issue to the obverse design to see if they match.

    Are you familiar with the term "ghosting"?

    No. Never heard of it. But I just found another one. It looks like ghosting. Are they worth anything?

    If that's what it indeed is, no... they can be fun to find and in some cases quite obvious though.

    It's hard for me to see any ghosting, but I also don't have the coin in-hand and have eyesight no blind man would take. ;)

    I can see what appears to be evidence of die deterioration though.

    I will try. It is a 2016. It looks DD but someone said that it is Ghosting.

    I suggested it as a likely possibility on the first, but clarified the fact I was unable to see the second well enough to identify anything beyond simple die deterioration. The newly-posted photos confirm this.
