Seeking advise,
Attached are pictures of a 1966 SMS collection. The dime in question has a pretty significant lamination (maybe). If you look at Roosevelt's chin youll see the mint error. It looks like Roosevelt has a goatee. I am new on this numismatic journey. I recieved my fathers coin collection and can attest it has been in the family since the early to mid 70s. What should I do? Should I send it for grading? If I do that, do I send the set as a whole? Would it be worth grading (monetarily)? It does appear to be a unique occurrence essentially with it being sealed coming from the mint in this state.
Your Thoughts?
Thanks

Welcome to the community.
De-lamination errors are common and does not command a premium in most cases, they are not worth sending out for grading.
this may not be de-lamination.

Welcome
Are you certain this is a lamination error?

Paul, to be honest I really don't know? I've been attempting to research it for about 2 months. The closest result I can come to is a lamination error. It is hard to believe that the mint would let this out though being this was a special run. I really don't know.
Re: 1966 SMS Dime with planchet lamination? What to do?
I can attempt to take better pictures but I really don't want to take it out of it holder until more is known about what may be going on here

Being in the holder will not make it worth more if it's a mint error, and these snap shut anyway. I can't tell what is going on but doesn't look like a delamination to me.

Here are updated pictures outside of the SMS holder. I attempted to get them at an angle so you coudle see the (tearing) in the planchet along the cheek. Please remember I am very novice. Since I have taken the coin out of the holder is that doubling on the N, W, O in IGWT? Thanks for the time that you are taking looking at this coin, your thoughts are appreciated. If anything I have a Roosevelt with a goatee

Looks like images are not going to be good enough on this one, someone will have to examine in hand. I don’t offer that service and please don’t send PMs to look at your posts. I get to them when I have time.

I agree with Daniel here, I don't think imaging this will be sufficient, someone will need to see this firsthand
