1996 P 10c - Die Chip Error? - "The Facehugger"

Toshimoko

I'm new to collecting and have started with Roosevelt Dimes, I believe I have my first error coin. I think this is a Die Chip error. Both the front and back have abnormalities. can someone confirm that this is a Die Chip error, or is it called something else?
Thanks for your help ahead of time.

That is heat damage. Not an error of any kind, sorry.

It is what is known as a campfire coin. Just damage caused by heat expanding
air trapped between the layers of the coin.

Thanks for the clarification! I truly appreciate it.

Appropriate name for the coin. From the movie Alien.
