2015 P dime weighs 2 grams, looks like it’s struck multiple times. I need help identifying this

I need help identifying what’s wrong with this dime please. It weighs 2 grams, looks struck multiple times. I can see a copper core but the outer silver layers are extremely thin compared to a normal dime. It’s also a little smaller and thinner than other dimes. Also on the reverse the first A in America is missing a leg on the right side.

There is no silver in business strike dimes after 1964. They are copper/nickel clad. This coin has been badly damaged, and it looks like it was dipped in a mild acid.

I don't see multiple strikes and I agree with @cpm9ball That it was probably dipped in acid.

 

You're right....it's been struck....by a truck....in a parking lot.

All joking aside, it's really just a damaged dime that's worth only 10 cents.

It does have a slightly misaligned die error (the rim is wider on one side than the other, it's called a MAD) but it is so minor there is no extra value.

The missing leg of the A is just damage.

If I could offer some advice when searching coins :

Don't look at damaged coins. All you're going to find is......damage !
Don't use excessive magnification. That only magnifies the damage.

Look at ordinary coins you find in your change from the store, or even buy rolls of coins from stores or the bank.
Use only a 5 to 8 power loupe or magnifying glass. A real error can be seen quite easily without major magnification.
Get the Red Book so you know what dates and mint marks to look for.
Study websites such as this one. Look on the left side for topics and read up on them.

Good Luck, keep searching, keep posting and sooner or later you'll find something good.

 

As the others stated.. Just damage.
Not a Mint Error
