I know I've seen enough worn Mercury or Barber Dimes to know what a worn silver dime looks like. Need some feedback on this find? If you have any input on this Comment help me understand, thanks community I would appericate it.

Not sure why you said it could be from a proof set? It just looks like a very well worn dime. Look at the edge to see if you can see a copper layer. Silver coins have no copper layer inside.

Probably because they made a silver proof set in 2000.

I made a fool of myself with the post that was here so I edited it. I did not zoom the pic to see the date started with 20XX.

And now it makes sense to me why they said it could be from a proof set.

It's a P mint mark and the weight is 2.1 I know the weight would be off quite a bit due to how worn and torn the coin looks. Thank you all who have commented and trying to help me out appericate it.

Just looks like a circulated coin, well circulated. Silver proofs have an S mint mark.
