What? You didn't include anything in your post besides a string of photos. What makes you think this coin is fake? More so why would anyone fake a 2018 dime? I suppose it would be smarter since people would pay less attention to a dime being faked. Though the total cost of a counterfeiting operation means they probably have little to no profit as their overhead is probably equal if not greater than any value gained outputting these.
A government accident left me a former man, a potato. That photo on my profile is a low resolution selfie. I like coins.
If someone were counterfeiting dimes I imagine it would take decades to turn a profit. Because of that I'm going to say the 2018 dime you posted isn't a counterfeit. What makes you think it could be a counterfeit? It just looks like a regular dime to me.
I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just a case of "tired dies" which is not unusual for Roosevelt Dimes.
Counterfeiting dimes to put them into circulation would be a fool's errand. There’s no profit to be made from it.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

I have a hunch about a particular business giving counterfeit change upon purchase. The coins are always brand new and uncirculated.
So naturally they are counterfeit.
I would assume the same thing.
I am sure the Secret Service will appreciate your help in breaking up this nefarious gang of criminals.

Obviously I am no patron to that particular business but here is my thinking for what it is worth. When i got out of the military before i started college I held a job as a gas station a-manager. When we would get rolls from the bank more often than not our penny rolls were immaculate BU condition. You could just by sheer coincidence be visiting this place at a time when they have cracked a new roll. Is it improbable? Sure but it is definitely closer to the realm of possibility versus a small local business running a counterfeit dime operation. I suppose if you are that concerned you could weigh it on a food scale and measure it! Not trying to sound rude it is just that your hunch does not seem to have any logic to it.

We need more pictures before we can authenticate your coin.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Yes, maybe some cross-sectional views of the interior would help

Yes, of course it's a counterfeit. That dime is HUGE!

The dime looks to be authentic... It would help if you also verbalize your concerns so they can be addressed directly. Cheers, RickO
Well crap, I just rolled $40 in dimes last week and now I realize that they're all counterfeit.

Get it graded.

Maybe this is a counterfeit account?
Actually, the pixilated images make it look fake!
The granulated appearance of the surface gives the coin "that look". If anything the OP learned that from here.
Kudos to him for that.
I wish Roosevelt was wearing a Bowtie. It's difficult to make an opinion without it.

Is this the 100 post give away? if I win please spend it. I didn't think you would get this far.
Hoard the keys.
Please contact the Secret Service IMMEDIATELY.
Waste no time.
