I can post the reverse as well but you can see literally 2 words when looking at IN GOD WE TRUST, The Date, Mintmark, as well as LIBERTY. You can also see the strike around the rim. The President's hair line shows as well.

I have seen this type of die deterioration so many times my eyes are bleeding, your coin is not a strike error, at least not a valuable one.   Your coin was struck with late state dies, meaning that the die (the obv one anyway as no rev was posted I cannot comment on that) was near the end of its useful life and show significant die erosion and die erosion doubling.   While in a very technical sense this is a mint error, it is so common that it adds no value to the face value of the coin and no reputable TPG would recognize it.

If you like it no reason you cannot keep it, but please do us all a favor and label it correctly so someday your heirs will not be asking the same question.

   This 2016-P dime, much like another we saw this week, exhibits die deterioration doubling, which takes the form of "ghostly" secondary images around letters and numbers. The "orange peel" like surfaces of this coin are also characteristic of worn dies. Unfortunately, die deterioration doubling is considered to be a form of "worthless" doubling, meaning it has little or no numismatic value. For more information about this form of doubling, see https://www.doubleddie.com/144843.html.

   To learn how to distinguish potentially valuable or at least collectible doubled die varieties from the various forms of "worthless" doubling, see also the following:

I agree, it is Die Deterioration caused by a worn die.     
Nothing there that would be considered an error.
