It sounds like an error in the coin stamping process. When coins are minted, a round, blank piece of metal is punched out of a strip of flat metal. The flat planchet (the minting term for a blank coin) is then moved along until it is between two steel dies that have the coin's reverse images engraved on it, one side of the die is pressed downward onto the planchet as it rests on the opposite die. Sometimes these dies will come unbolted and rotate or become misaligned and produce a coin with a crooked or off-center image. Coin collectors love these "error" or mint fault coins. It is certainly worth something to the right coin collector. I would put it on eBay and see what happens.

1949 Roosevelt Dime with absolutely nothing on the back - smooth with no strike Worth anything?

There are at least 2 ways that can happen: First, if two blanks accidentally landed in the coin press at the same time, the press would only be able to strike an image on one side of each. The extra thickness of the double blank would also cause the images that did take to be much sharper than normal. Also, the coin would be the same thickness and weight as any other silver dime. This error is fairly uncommon and you'd need to have it evaluated by a dealer who handles error coins. On the other hand, if the coin is thinner and lighter than normal, someone used a file or other means to smooth off the back side. In this case it's a damaged coin worth only its silver metal value, maybe a dollar or so.

What is the value of a 2000 penny slightly struck off center there is no doubling but Lincoln is a higher than normal and the rim is noticeably bolder under him?

You have an error called an off-center strike. That happens when a coin blank doesn't land squarely in the collar that holds it when the coin press strikes the image on it. Unfortunately a minor offset isn't worth very much on a penny. You'd need to have a coin with at least 15-20% of the image missing to have any significant extra value, and even then it would only be a few dollars.
