The quarter is approx. AU58, dump the dime.
A neutral color, like gray, is a better background color. White will throw your color balance off, depending on your equipment and magnification....
@Richard Kennedy …go to doubleddie.com and read everything on the site, especially the section on “Worthless Doubling”. It lists examples of...
My theory is…these are clad coins, 2 outer layers over a central copper core. This one may have just had a brittle piece break off.
It is KM#936a, copper plated steel. Plating issue.
So far they have been mostly cents, the oldest 1961 and the newest at 1991. I have found 1 worn out dime from 1984. I sorted about half last...
An alternative to Numista: Go to NGC homepage, Resources, Price Guides. They list a range of prices per condition and other info. To navigate...

@gronnh20 …thank you. That actually helps me put things in perspective…Spark
I’m currently working on Roosevelt clad dimes. I noticed a prevalence of deterioration on even the best of them, none are uncirculated, all...

You should know this by now. The hair is die deterioration. The rest is corrosion and damage. This is what you end up with…for goodness...
Looks to be VG8 or so…NGC lists this grade and date at $215 USD. Take a bit back for the damaged N/ONE and you made out very well…best guess is...
MS60 at best. Too many device and field flaws for higher.
Spend it. The advanced level of circulation damage disqualifies it for any value beyond face value.
