Welcome to the forum
That is not an error, it is damage (PMD). There is no way for that to occur when the dime was struck.

Good find. Hard to come by in the wild.
Looks like there is a bit of split plating above the letters.
-
Please do not use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see small detail clearly.
From what I can make out, it looks like zinc rot, just another damaged zincoin.- RonnieR131 and Jfanth

The same as your 2008 nickel that is severe DDD from a very worn die.

Photos are a little dark to see detail but without even looking at it I could be 99.9999% sure it is a counterfeit.
This is probably the second most asked question on the forum and no one has found a genuine one yet. -
Thanks for the new photo. The fact that the reeds are missing and the diameter is smaller confirms my thoughts that it is a dryer coin. This is not considered an error but damage to the coin.
Suggest if you are going to look for errors, read up on what constitutes an error. Sandon has given you some websites plus this is one I use frequently. error-ref.com.

No need to apologize, everyone has to start somewhere. Suggest reading the top two posts in this column, there is a wealth of information there for beginners.
Your coins weight is in spec so its not overweight. Would still like to see a clear photo of both sides. Also would you put this quarter on top of another quarter and see if the diameter is the same or is it smaller.

First, never hold a coin in your bare hands, the oil from your skin can cause fingerprints and greatly devalue a coin.
Also those are not reed marks, it is a pattern around the edge of your coin. It looks like the edge has just been worn down either intentionaly or unintentionaly.
Almost forgot, welcome to the forum

Welcome to the forum
First we need the weight to two decimal points. Second we need a clear photo of both sides of the coin.
Also please crop your photos, we don't need all that background and it will enlarge your photos.
It could be one of a couple of things be we need more informaytion.

QuoteTechnically it is an error but so minor that it has no or very limited value, die chips are extremely common on the mid 50's cents here is a definition of a die chip.
Maybe it is just me but I do not consider die chips an error, it is a die event. It is no different than die deterioration or die polishing. The die has been altered and every coin struck after the chip started would have that mark. You could have tens of thousands the same until the die was retired. Most errors are a one time event due to improper striking of the coin. If the die has a chip, then no matter how well the coin is struck, it would still show, it has nothing to do with the improper striking of the coin.

Welcome to the forum
A clear photo of both sides along with an explanation of what you see is required before anyone can help you.

It could be a knockout from a metal electric box
That was my first thought but a knockout usually has a small metal tab on the edge that I do not see.

If you are including ancients, then I think Alexander the Great may have had his coins minted in
at least 8 locations as he had mints in various areas of his vast empire. -

Looks like it might be a small delamination.
Also a Struck Through is not a variety, it is an error.- J P M and powermad5000

Not an error of any kind.An error can only occur during the striking of
the coin and that could not have happened at that time.
That looks like there is some sort of glue like substance on the surface.
Try soaking it in pure acetone for about 24 hours and see if it disappears. -
The filled D is what is known as a broken post, quite common on D and P mintmarks.
The circle on the reverse is as Sandon stated, probably caused by a coin wrapping.
or other type of machine. It did not happen during the striking of the coin.
It is just a damaged quarter worth 25 cents. -
-
What is really light? Give us a weight to two decimal points.
Looks like a zinc cent that is missing the copper. -
Common machine doubling.
Also do NOT use screen shots, they are too pixilated to see detail clearly. -
If someone offered you 25 cents, take it. They are common in circulated condition.

Welcome to the forum
What you have are 3 Large Date cents worth 1 cent each.
It is the 1982D copper Small Date that is the valuable one but you
have a better chance at winning the power ball lottery than finding one?
There are only a couple known to exist.
Is a a 1970 large date over small date no mint mark possible?

Simple answer, no.
The only 1970 small date has the S mint mark . Seeing yours has no mm, it would not be possible
