2000P Dime Error? PMD?

Well, in addition to being slightly off-center, FDR looks like he has a booger or a cleft lip. Is it PMD? Thanks.

Might be a clashed die error. The condition of the coin isn't too great, so, you may have to inspect under and microscope using another dime reverse as a guide.

Yes, it is a strong Die Clash!

Thanks for the replies. I am certainly no expert on error coins, and had to look up the details of what a die clash error is. I take it that the reverse peeks a little on the obverse and visa versa? Well, I found this dime in regular change, and it has seen better days!

It happens when the dies come together without a planchette in between. The design from each die is transferred to each other.

Anyone that finds or collects coins that have Die Clashing or Counter Die Clashing will find the website very helpful and informative.
