I ran across this coin (1968-D Roosevelt Dime) while sorting through old change. As you can see there is damage on both sides, but on the opposing side of each spot it is flush.
Thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated!

This is post mint damaged, this can’t happen during the minting process.

Re: Roosevelt Dime 1968-D | Question: Would this be considered a mint error?
As has been said, PMD.
Some help:
Save Yourself time, effort, and disappointment...don’t learn the coin hobby backwards.
Most odd looking things on coins are just post mint damage. So looking for random anomalies on coins and hoping they match up to something collectable will take you a lot more time, wasted effort, and disappointment repeatedly finding out you have nothing but post mint damage or useless machine doubling, die deterioration, etc.
Spend some initial time at places like error-ref.com, doubleddie.com, varietyvista.com, conecaonline.org, coppercoins.com etc. to find what actual and collectable coin errors look like.
A good way to start is, for instance, separate a bunch of pennies by date. Go to varietyvista.com and, date by date, use the reference there to see what errors are known for that specific coin/mint mark. Look for those specific errors/varieties using the pictures provided. After doing this for awhile you will KNOW what an actual error looks like and not have to waste time on face value and damaged coins.

Re: Roosevelt Dime 1968-D | Question: Would this be considered a mint error?
I must be catching on because that was my first thought. Looks like someone used it to rest a soldering iron on it or just playing around trying to see what it would do.
