    I found a 1999 P dime that looked a little thick, what do you all think?

    Also looks a little smaller in diameter with raised rim...Most likely a "dryer" coin or at least one that has been spun around in a container. Post mint damage , but post the obverse of the coins in similar position for maybe other comments.

    Welcome to the forum!

    It's also quite possible that it's just that - extra thick. It happens.

    Yup, and given those pics that would be my guess as well.
