I have a 1970 U.S. dime with what appears to be some type of doubling on the B, E, and R of Liberty.

Would this be worth grading?

Google "machine doubling", it should answer most of your questions. And no, it probably wouldn't be a good candidate to submit for grading.

It doesn't look like anything most collectors would pay a significant premium for, especially since the coin is not in very high grade (at least from the parts of the coin shown). Doesn't seem to be worth the cost of a submission.
Good luck!

Looks like machine doubling as well as die deterioration.
No added value; not a coin to submit.5

The 1970 DDR is one of the most sought after CPG varieties known in the clad series and the best one graded so far I believe is an XF example. The 1970-D's in FS-801/802 are plentiful in MS66, but the 1970 is borderline rare.
I know of at least 3 collectors right now that would pay obscene $$$ for a true 1970 FS-801.
Not sure that this is what you have. I'm not aware of any doubling at all on the obverse. I would need to see a picture with the entire back. You should have doubling in the "A" in America that really stands out, otherwise it looks as if you have the dreaded Machine Doubling.
