look at above the f in of. I've taken it to a shop where I live and it floored him, but he said it was a clad dime so I could spend it, it's is a 1965 that's a d above the f
Could be one of Wexler’s UFO varieties, I’ll ask Sparkles and Zema, last I saw them they were trying to figure out where they parked the saucer. Stupid name for a COIN error classification, UFO makes me think little green people.
That's damage at the top of the F. It's not a D, it's a gouge into the metal that might be in a rectangular shape, but it's damaged. not an error of any type, I'm sorry to say.
There are literally countless ways a coin can be damaged, and is particularly true for those that have clearly spent many years in hard circulation. What you're seeing is almost certainly an example of this.
Seriously though it looks like the F took a couple of hits to get to where it’s at now. Coin metal moves easily. Just what I see. Reed. BTW Welcome to CT.
I understand you don't have it in your hands and looking at it with your eyes but I'v have taken it to get looked at and I was told it was it not a gouge [...]
It is definitely a gouge. At one point your dime was hit or pinched. The area around the depression was pushed above the surface of the coin (the displaced metal has nowhere else to go). Your coin also has a lot of wear. Over time, the displaced metal wore along with the rest of the coin. If you go back an look at your original post, you said that the dealer told you that you could spend it. If it was a valuable error, why would he tell you to spend it?
I thought the same thing with my 1963 Denver mint quarter and was able to determine that it just suffered some sort of hit that looked "D" shaped.
