It is what is called a partial grease filled die, a minor error. Not uncommon and adds little or no value.

Instead of five photos of the obverse, please show one of the reverse.

Good luck then, I hope it is genuine. It would be nice to have a genuine coin found after all of the
counterfeits we see on the forum. Please do give us the results either way for our own education.

Don’t know how a coin can be “slightly “ broadstruck, it either is or isn’t.   
I see nothing unusual about the OP’s dime. Die wear and circulation wear
can make minor changes to appearances.

This is the forum for registered sets, you should have posted this in the newbie forum.   
Have asked that it be moved to the appropriate forum.

Why would you want to clean a top pop? You could ruin by trying to clean it.      
Not only that, you would have to remove from its holder and pay to get it regraded.   
Also NCS does not clean coins, they conserve them, a big difference.

Welcome to the forum
As stated, just a stained cent, sometimes called coffee cup coins.   
If you are going to get into the error world of coins, suggest you do some studying on what constitutes.  
a real error and also study on how coins are minted. This will save you a lot of time road. Also you should.  
be able to distinguish between a variety and an error, they are too different things. Remember, it is only an.  
error if it happens during the striking of the coin, anything that happens after that is considered damage.   
Suggest reading some of the websites that EagieRJO has provided under “Basic Resources & Glossary”.  
at the top of this page. Also get yourself a Redbook for general references.

And how many “Newbies” do you expect to read this. Most of them don’t even read the top two pinned
threads on posting and basic resources

Can’t be repunched, they stopped hand punching dies in 1989.
Looks like Machine Doubling.

There is nothing on that dime that can’t be attributed to damage.
Even if there was an error, in that condition there would be no premium.  
Not sure what research you are doing, are you checking out sites such as  error-ref.com.  
to see what real errors look like.

Nice cent but unless you think it is worth more than $150.00, it would not be worth the cost of grading.

They are nicknamed “Campfire Coins”.   
We see these fairly often on this site.
 

They both look normal to me. One has just toned more than the other from circulation.   
pleas3 be specific with your question, what is it your seeing?
 

A rating of only 91.7% is considered a low rating and a seller I would avoid.   
Normally a rating of 98% or higher is considered  a good rating. A top rated seller usually always supplies    
clear photos of both sides whereas the lower rated are usually, as you put it, dishonest and deceptive.   
There is no reason to not supply a clear photo of the reverse unless the seller is hiding something.

The coin doesn’t melt, it doesn’t get that hot.  What happens is the small pockets of air between the cladding and copper core expand and form a bubble pushing the cladding outward. When the coin cools down, the cladding collapses resulting in the effect you see. There have been many similar coins posted on this forum so they are easily recognized. They are sometimes called campfire coins.

If it is not listed on Variety Plus, it won’t be recognized by a TPG

The rim just shows the copper core, nothing unusual.   
Please orient your photos the proper way

What you have is just a damaged and corroded cent worth 1 cent.  This is known as a road kill coin.
Suggest you read and study what a true error is.

A photo would help but it could just be some sort of an inventory sticker from the seller.   
I have had them on a couple of purchases  from one of the coin dealers I use.

That is the problem riight there. Looking at thee spacing between the A & M is the worst way to tell the difference.   Dies and coins get worn which can affect the appearance of the spacing, different years might have slightly different spacing .
The best way, in my opinion, is to look at the FG initials beside the memorial. If they are close, as yours are, it is a WAM. If they are further away, it is a CAM. This way there is "no guessing".

It is only an error if it happens during the striking of the planchet.  
What you have could not happen at that time so it is PMD ( Post Minting Damage)
