Can't find information on this coin.

I cannot seem to find anything on this coin I received from my grandfather. I do not intend to sell it, but I would still like very much to know how much it's worth. Any help is much appreciated. That bare spot is a rise, I think it may be a bubble?

Your coin has spent time in a fire. A microscopic, trapped gas bubble expanded in the heat and pushed up the softened surface.

To answer your question, your coin is worth $0.10. Sorry....

That piece is first year for copper-nickel clad coinage dime that was authorized by the Coinage Act of 1965. It is made of the same materials as the current dime. Despite the fact that it is 58 years old it has no collector value. It probably went though a fire.

Just for the heck of it, let's see the other side.

Agree with the above, just heat damage causing expansion between the layers.
We see quite a few of these on the forum.

This effect can easily be created with a torch. Spend it.
