1974 "D" Dime out of shape and "undone"

Hello there,

I have this 1974 Dime which looks and feel pretty undone or maybe some machine problem while making it (I don't Know) but the "United States of America" is Scratched in a way that the coin is larger compared with other dimes and looks undone. The coin is the one in the left shown in the 1st image (sorry for the bad quality) also the edges are curvy because the rim is out of place (see 3rd Image) the left "border" is thicker than the right one which is barely visible. I wish I could explained better and have better quality Images for all of you to see exactly what am trying explain about this dime...

Does this dime worth anything at all or just the face value?

hello and welcome to the forum. What you have there is most commonly referred to as a "dryer coin." if you search that term, you will find discussions and images of similarly damaged coins of various denominations. Sorry to say, but your dime is a coin that was damaged after leaving the mint. Keep looking though; you will find something.
