    I agree with die cracks! @Terrys2580 do you have the ability to crop your photos? It would provide more detail for tired old eyes like mine!!! ;);)

    A well worn Roosevelt dime with a die crack from 11k reverse through the olive leaves and exits at the stem to the coin edge. Its called a" bisecting die crack." This crack ends at the E in one...on the rim.
    Die cracks can travel through devices unseen until they exit.

    First of all, Welcome @Terrys2580 to Coin Talk!
    Your photos of the dime seem to show die breaks, as mentioned above by others. Not worth much for most collectors, but it is silver, so you got that going for you. :) I would put it in a 2x2 and keep it as an example.

    Just a low grade silver dime. In my area it’s called junk silver and sells for the spot price of silver plus a small premium for the dealer. Welcome to CT.

    Possible setup for taking photos, but browse for tips:

    Not surprising

    The coin might benefit from a short acetone soak to get rid of the dirt and adhered junk. Acetone won't affect the coin surface
