I have this liberty dime that I saved and was trying to read the date on it, but it is so damaged on both the reverse and obverse sides of the coin. I believe that it is an error coin but not sure. Can anyone help me?
!
It’s nothing more than a damaged Roosevelt dime, which are still being used and minted today. This coin was minted no earlier than 1980. We know this because the P mint mark wasn’t used on Roosevelt dimes until then.

@Rarecoinhunter... Welcome aboard. As you may realize based on the above inputs, your coin has severe Post Mint Damage (PMD) and is worth ten cents. No error, no premium. Cheers, RickO
Thank you JBK. I thought that it might just be damaged, but I saw a few on eBay that indicated they had error coins, but most of the listings there also say that their coins are rare but there are many many of the same coin. So it is hard to know the real truth. I have many coins that I am not sure of, some I collected, some parents left when they passed. So, I really want to learn the true scoop on these conns. If I show something that is not worth a plug nickel, I don't mind constructive criticism. And thanks for putting up with me ahead of time.

What makes you believe this is an “error” after you admit that it’s a severely damaged parking lot coin?

It's a Roosevelt dime.

Good luck with the date.
wait for another in a way better grade, fwiw
No error and the date is irrelevant.

Rarecoinhunter.... in this case, you have not lived up to your handle. Keep looking.... this is not a rare one; I agree with those above.
Welcome. Read the forum for what goes on around here.
Learn about coins first, then wealth will follow. Good luck.

It might appeal to the lowball collectors. It fits into the new category of "worst road rash" coin.
Someone "just having fun" often replies multiple times to get people worked up.

Thanks for the info. As you probably know, I am new at this.
There's no shame at all in that, and as long as you are willing to learn you will get a good education here.
