Dime struck on another coin?

New to coins wondering if this dime I found is worth anything?

I see severe die deterioration and a couple of minor die breaks. Can you post an image of the whole coin?
That might be an error, but I can't tell without more comprehensive pictures.

Clear pictures 📸 as well
Worth 10c.
The dies were heavily eroded from long usage.

This pic has my interest piqued. Sure looks like a partial S—there even appears to be a serif on the lower curve—hanging out below the F.
Just damage.

The die is breaking apart.
Beware pareidolia.
It could definitely be pareidolia. But it’s enough to make me think it’d be worth viewing full pics of both obverse and reverse before I write the coin off as nothing special.
Thanks for posting a very interesting anomaly. BTW, worse use of word pareidolia I've seen on the forum. It doesn't mean actual oddity on the coin, but the thought of an oddity on the coin(in this case). I do not know what you have but hopefully Fred will view your post and reply.

If the coin was struck twice or overstruck on another coin then the details from the first strike would be flattened.
My first reaction was 'die deterioration '. But some of the smoothness / straightness of some of the edges or lines is curious, so who knows? I'd probably be looking a little closer if in hand.
Worst use of the word "worse" I've ever seen on the forum. 😉
Pareidolia does not mean "the thought of an oddity on the coin". Pareidolia is the tendency to interpret images as something familiar. So, a random curve that is actually on the coin gets interpreted as an "S" or a "snake" or an "ear".
In the air right now over the Atlantic – but as others has said, we need to see a full photo of both
The obv. And rev. Of the coin
OP We are trying to help you here. Full photographs of obverse and reverse, please.

Wurst is my favorite, but then that's me,as I lived in Germany for 3 years. Anything unintended is random, so I guess this would definitely be random, but not imagination or wishful thinking.

Perhaps some liquid might have dried on part of it? But... until more complete overall pictures come in...!
Looks like some dropped letters. These happen and are cool finds. They are usually one offs hence why it is not a widely known error.
Dropped letters would not be raised.
Looks like die deterioration and maybe some clashing, full obv and rev (non electron microscope) photos would be helpful.

Yes, the coin has Die Deterioration - but what the arrow is pointing at is very unusual! And also "O's" don't have tails like "Q's".

Brook,

that's tthe thing double struck coins generally have that high of relief of the previous strike
