2010 OR 2016 DIME

This dime has a few errors I believe...Can't tell if it is a 2010 or 2016...If I had to guess
I would say 2010....Notice too how the letters ( obverse & reverse ) seem like some are double plated.....What do you guys think?

No to double plating, yes to severe die deterioration. And a small die chip at the nose.

 

By the way. Dimes are Cladded and not Plated. There is a difference.
A 'clad' coin such as a Dime has had a skin of another material mechanically bonded onto it whereas a 'plated' coin such as the current US Cent has had the skin electrochemically deposited.

 

Thanks paddyman and tommy!

Cool looking coin. That die had seen better days.
