It looks like typical abrasion damage but it's hard to tell from your pics. Numerous people post coins like this on coin talk thinking they're...
Environmental damage. It is normal for the copper core to look slightly off center. This is caused when the blanks are punched from the strip.
You're right, it's a minor debris filled die error. Grease filled die is a long standing term in the hobby, but technically the devices can be...
Environmental damage. Nothing more. BTW: You may want to look up the weight of a dime planchet
