I’m new to this kind of thing and had a quick question. I found this on a 1984 P Dime and wanted to get someone’s opinion on it. Right above his forehead there seems to be something weird going on. I know the picture isn’t great but here it is. I attached a photo of the back as well.

That is damage, from what?, who knows, but no error here.

Just a beat-up dime. No numismatic interest or value. Spend it.
There seems to be a bulge next to FDR's forehead. Based on the general damage I'd guess a bubbled area from extreme heat.
PMD, no question about it.
Yep, heat damage.

@Coin_Collect .... Welcome aboard. Your coin exhibits Post Mint Damage (PMD) and has no numismatic premium. Cheers, RickO
I have a similar dime.
...and the answers to the original post apply similarly to yours.
Nothing more than a heavily damaged dime. I believe it's heat damaged, but am not going to complain if others disagree. The important thing to know is that this could not occur during the minting process so it can't be an error.
