Interesting 2017 D dime

Hey I found a dime I wanted to get opinions on. It’s a 2017 I think d. In god we trust the date and mint mark are all but missing. Barley readable. Dime is in good condition. I’ll post pictures separate as this is the 4th time I’ve tried posting.

    Grease filled dies?

    I think this is the issue.

    We need a clearer pic of the obverse.

    Would this be something worth submitting for a grade?

    It would not be worth the grading fees but would likely sell at a premium as is.

    Worn dies for sure, probably with a side order of grease.

    No reason to grade it. Any value is mostly in the "error". If it were significant enough then have it slabbed to get the error identified and authenticated, but in this case I don't think it is worth anywhere near the cost of slabbing.

    Impossible to know what's going on from the blurry pics.

    Better pictures would help, but it definitely looks a like what JBK says.

    Pictures are blurry, however, either grease filled or die deterioration....Cheers, RickO

    Die deterioration or Worn/Overused die.

    Very very common on modern dimes and
    the National Park Quarters.

    Not an error, just a worn die.

    Not worth spending $1 on having it
    certified. When new rolls are opened,
    I've seen the entire roll look like this,
    on both dimes and quarters (mostly).
