Hello, I’m having trouble identifying if this coin is a double die or similar error coin. Any help with the identification and valuation would be much appreciated.

Why do you think that is?
Variety Vista will have it listed if it exists

First, a Doubled Die is a variety, not an error.
Your photos are really too small to see any detail. Please crop your photos
and show us where you think there is Doubling.
Shoot the coin so it's most of the frame and crop it - that way we can see it.

Here are updated photos. It’s the best I can do at the moment given my camera. I hope this helps.
I have no clue. I’m not knowledgeable in coins. I googled a 1967 dime and some similar to mine are selling for $500-1000+
The “JS” and “God We Trust” look extra bold, so I was thinking that is a Doubled Die, but I’m not familiar with any of these details regarding errors/varieties.
No. It's not a doubled die and not an error - just a regular dime worth 10 cents.

This is the only Doubled Die Obverse listed for 1967
There are no Doubled Die Reverse for 1967
There are only two others known to exist, so if it is a match you might have hit something nice.
Still not clear to me based on your photos, but you should be able to use the images associated with the link to narrow it down.

Most likely $500-1000+ are asking prices, not actual sales.
There are many people on ebay who think they found something rare and ask big money for it, but it never sells....
2.2 billion 1967 dimes were made, and many are still around today. It's a very common coin.
The chance of finding something rare in pocket change is extremely low.
The only people making money off this concept of "rare pocket change" are the people with youtube videos which promote the concept, and a few people who sell books.
But I give you credit for knowing your limitations and asking nicely with good photos.
And the only people that would have a decent chance of finding a 1967 doubled die dime variety, for example, are those that a) have expertise in identifying doubled dies, and b) are searching through hundreds to thousands of 1967 dimes in order to find a single example of the variety.
I made the search:

I can’t determine.

Welcome. The token is neat.
Thank you everyone for your expertise.
I appreciate the strait forward response.
