Hello, I see nothing out of the ordinary about this coin.

If you have another coin, then post a separate thread with Pics cropped and edited. :D

I agree. Looks like a normal dime to me.

OK - let's take this one at a time to help you better know the hobby :D
1. "...the double died..." " the more the doubling is visible the more it's worth" A coin is called a doubled DIE (not died) if the DIE the coin was struck with has a doubled image on it. Every coin made with the same doubled die will be exactly the same.

2. There are other kinds of doubling that is common to find on coins that are NOT from a doubled die. These other types of doubling do not add any value to the coin. These non-collectable types of doubling include machine doubling (MD), and Die Deterioration Doubling (DDD). Look those terms up at error-ref.com. Your s is not a doubled die.

3. A dime with no mint mark was made at Philadelphia. It was in 1980 the Philly mint started to put a P on their dimes. They still don't put one on the cent.

4. As to what you think you see as a 5 on President Roosevelt's (not President Lincoln who is one the cent), when you understand how the coin making process works, there is no way some extra letter, number, or image can appear on a coin at the mint. So anything weird you believe you see is post mint damage. The marks it got form circulation make you think you see a 5. We humans are subject to what is called pareidolia - such as seeing shapes in clouds - that cloud one looks like a dragon... type of thing.

You have a normal dime.
