Hello. I found a 2000 P Roosevelt dime in my change a few days ago. It has quite a few mint made errors I believe on both sides. Most of which I don't know the names of. This is a pretty new interest for me so I have almost everything left to learn about coins. Please be patient with my ignorance. :) I've have been looking all over the internet trying to find something similar and have come up empty. I actually tried to contact two different appraisers and never got any sort of reply. I am pretty sure the pictures show most of these errors. There seems to be something that I am seeing with the naked eye but I don't have a good enough camera to get it to really show up. But it looks like possible writing behind his head about halfway down ICA is the only letters I was able to make out which makes me think it says America. But I haven't found anything yet that says America anywhere close to that same location. I am curious if I found something worthwhile or if I found something worthless and got way too excited about. The lack of responses to my emails makes me lean a bit towards the latter, but due to my nature I can't let it go until I actually get an answer of some kind. Any and all input will be gratefully appreciated. Thank you for your time. :)

Agreed - what you have is a badly damaged coin that has experienced a rough life since it left the mint. None of that occurred at the mint.

You really have studied this coin...but it is the latter.

to the CCF and You found very good site to learn about errors and varieties. As stated above, all this is damage. And as far as seeing letters and numbers that aren't there, this is called Pareidolia. If you look at a coin long enough, you can see whatever you want to see. We've all been there at one time.

Wow. I wasn't expecting anyone to reply to be honest. Lol. Thank you. I cab tell this is a great community already. And usually I would agree with all of you one hundred percent. I even looked at the pictures I posted and if I wasn't the poster, I would totally agree. But looking at some of the pictures made me realize that the camera didn't do justice for them at all. I posted a few more pictures, trying to get the right angles and such. Also found a few things I didn't post before. I'll try to explain why I think the damage is mint made the best I can. And if my thoughts get blown out of the water by everyone, I won't post about it again. Unless of course there is a second one. Lol. Kidding. So I initially thought it was badly beaten up at first, but then I noticed that the ERY in Liberty was curved. It looks like the damage occurred at the exact moment the letters were being stamped. The letters aren't damaged in any way. Just curving out. I know it looks like the metal is raised and such, but surprisingly it is almost completely flush. Minus a few sharp goobers. Then on the reverse, the O in One is stamped through or over the damage. Because if the damage happened at a later time, wouldn't it have destroyed the O? Again I think this happened almost all at once the damage and stamping simultaneously. It's not as prominent as the letters in Liberty, but the O is pushed up/out a bit more than the rest. And this is nearly flush as well.
The word America on the reverse is a bit different. This one isn't flush. There is a little bit of a lip from the edge that is over the word a bit. It is not touching any of the letters that I can see. The picture makes it look like the letters er are pressed down. They actually aren't. The letters were stamped weird like that. And last, whew :) there is some crazy damage one the actual rim of the coin. But the damage didn't go through the entire side. It looks like there is some kind of puncture mark in the damage, and if you turn the coin over, and imagine a needle going in that direction, something with incredible force, the needle so to speak would hit in the center of the big indentation in the metal on the front. Alright. I think that's all I had. Geez, I haven't done this much homework or writing in years. Thank you again for your time. Enjoy the rest of your day.

None of that can happen during the striking of the coin. The image on the die is transferred to the coin during minting, there is no way that rows of lettering can curve and move. This is actually evidence that it happened after minting.

Nicely done on the images and adding the text to help explain what you are seeing.
What everyone has replied is the only explanation for what you are seeing.

Maybe you are familiar with the die making process, but here is a link that describes the die-making process in pretty good detail. Hope it is helpful to understand why everyone is saying it is damaged.
