Mercury Dime error or post mint

I am at a point where I'm afraid to ask but here goes.

Is this post mint or mint damage? I put a normal dime next to it just to give a size reference.

I think it looks like it has been flattened post mint but not knowing anything about errors I want to make sure I tell him the correct thing. I guess the only way this could happen at the mint is if the collar wasn't in place.?. Then I would never expect it to make it out of the mint - so sorry if this is a stupid question.


Thanks for your feedback.

And oh by the way, you can see faint reeding on the edge. Guess that would rule ont no collar.

 

i think it is just worn in a lot
