Nice clash. They can carry a premium from the right buyer if a new discovery but you would need to slab it after having it verified by someone...
My take is a very extreme hit to the B separating it. Being close to the I it looks like it might be something else, but I'm going with damage. JMHO.
Bored people I guess. I would have to be a total couch potato to even think about it. And especially a dime. I could see using a quarter or half...
Your third photo is the give away as it shows the edge and the rim.
If you live in an area that is distressed, having bad times, you may find that people who don't understand the value of the silver content,...

Thanks very much Chris & thanks to all. Happy Birthday to all of you other near Christmas babies also.

I have seen planchet that had a defect that would draw a straight line. Not a typical feeder finger gouge, but a scratch. I have found quite a few...

Welcome to Coin Talk. Sadly, all I can really tell here is a lot of environmental damage. The first photos are too blurry. Possibly a die chip...
A cud occurs at the edge or rim of the coin, not internally. It might be a IDB (Interior Die Break) or a clash of some sort.
An awful lot of extreme die polishing going on. Wonder what they were trying to hide, maybe a die clash?
IMHO coin collecting is still an entry level hobby. That's how most of started, culling through change of our own or our parents/grandparents....
