Unfortunately can’t tell the date on the dime but more than likely it is a 2015. Been awhile since an upload but have added some rare shield cents to the error pc lately.
Only date of 2015 that I know of And then I know of two more shield cents struck on a struck dime both 2014. 1 sold in 2015 and the other 2014 sold 2 ish years ago now. Both this came from towns in Pennsylvania an hour from each other. This 2015 was found in New York
I don't like it! The rotation etc. reminds me of a fantasy piece. Not exactly a rarity. Fun coin though.
It's Broadstruck somehow within in the confines of the collar a larger die face would obliterate some of the rim.
Def a rarity. I mean the rotation is common on other coins struck on other denominations… I’m sure you’ve seen double denominations with Pennie’s and dimes from the 80’s and 90’s if not it the rotation is VERY common
A penny isn’t that much bigger than a dime. The perimeter of the penny u can see the L in liberty being stretched due to the strike amongst other devices close to the rim. So the “stretching” of some of the devices due to the strike. Doesn’t mean broad struck just metal flow when struck since the dime is smaller and the strike from penny dies is stretching the already struck dime. Also gotta think about the penny dies being incuse and the dime already being struck it flows into those raised already struck portions. It’s legit not a “fantasy piece” lol very much a rarity
This is what I can do atm. The weakness you see kn the inverse pic at around 5 and 10 o’clock is what is seen in this pic that area from being struck. Bc since the original coin is smaller then what it is being struck on there was some movement in the striking chamber.

Hi Mike. I think it would be better that you send the member a private message. Since this isn't the For Sale forum there are rules for selling or offering to buy on the other forums. Not allowed.
I think there are differences between the 2 coins. Let's assume they are both true "errors". The first one appears to be a zinc cent struck on a dime planchet. Which can happen by accident, perhaps a dime planchet was mixed in with the zinc planchets or was stuck in a machine and got struck when they were striking pennies. (IDK just thinking out loud.) Now the second Mike Beyers coin which has been certified by PCGS, this coin I have an issue with. This is a coin which was struck as a dime, and then struck as a cent. Well, IDK what the rules are now but I think in the old days mint workers weren't even allowed to bring change with them to work in their pockets. And the only way this dime could have been struck, is if it "accidentally" or on purpose was tossed in with the cents during production. Despite the PCGS certification, this error was manufactured. If it was tossed in as a joke, I doubt the mint worker would be able to retrieve this coin (like when a clandestine mint worker made 5 1913 Liberty Head nickels with a proof die and then sold all 5 of them to the same "collector" who broke them up and sold them individually. This is an illegal coin since it was never issued by the mint and they should have been confiscated 100 years ago.) And so this error coin was probably "found" in circulation, but since it was first made legitimately as a dime, the second minting as a cent has no interest to me. Of course there are other famous examples of this the 1970-S proof quarter which was struck over a 1941 Canadian quarter. It's not as if a reg quarter was struck on the wrong planchet (even foreign) as that happens. But for a proof to be struck on an existing coin is not possible, as the proof planchets are all specially designed and worked before minting. So that error was manufactured. An error by definition needs to be an accident that happened at the mint.
I don't have the expertise to say whether it's real or not, but I do think the font of "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" looks off, especially "R" in "AMERICA".
