    It looks like damage. What are you expecting to be able to do with it? It's just bullion now.

    Melt, damage upon and behind ear results in silver value only.

    Even if it wasn't damaged the wear alone on this coin makes it worth only its melt value.

    I would like to find out if it is worth something to a collector, probably one of a kind.
    There is no premium for damaged coins, they are all one of a kind.
    Your dime is worth the melt value of the silver in it.

    Unfortunately for you the other responses(As brusque as some comments may be) are on target. Damage to the ear are also evident in a number of places behind the ear. Post mint damage. At today's spot price your dime is worth $1.63.

    Of that I have no doubt.

    Having fun while switching things up and focusing on a next level PCGS slabbed 1950+ type set, while still looking for great examples for the 7070.

    Sell it at melt. Or you could list it on Etsy for a few grand.

    Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
