It's a fake. A dime had its reverse face ground off. Then a cent whose rim was trimmed away and whose obverse was ground off was glued to the...

I concur with Roy. Your description is what one would expect of a "squeeze job" (a.k.a. "sandwich job", "hammer job"). It's a vandalized coin,...
It just looks like severe post-strike damage to me.
Just an old, foreign "squeeze job". Not an error.
Looks can be deceiving. Weigh the coin and then get back to us.
It's very hard for me to draw a conclusion. The highly polished field of a proof coin can lead to the appearance of doubling where none exists....
It's post-strike damage. The pressure ridge around the crater says it all.
Scratched, scuffed, pitted, and covered with a layer of black paint (or similar) that's worn through. My opinion remains unchanged.
You are free to believe whatever you wish. But badly vandalized coins like this are quite common. The impact damage appears to have warped or...
It's just a very badly damaged dime. It's not a mint error. It's worth only face value.
You can find damaged coins in rolls and in mint-sewn bags. Post-strike mint damage is a common and well-known phenomenon. Bent, crushed, gouged,...
It would be a "grease strike" or "filled die" error, then. Worth only a buck or two, but still a nice find for pocket change.
If the design rim is strong, the rim/edge junction sharp, and the edge flat, then it's a filled die error. If the design rim is weak or absent,...
The on-line forum www.error-coins.com was hacked out of existence some time in the last two days. This forum may be just as vulnerable, as I...
The appearance is so crude that it's hard to believe that it's retooling. No competent engraver would allow such poor workmanship to enter...
Splitting of the copper plating next to the D-mintmark is rather common. It is not an RPM.
I sometimes happens that coins are squished together in mint machinery after the strike. Such coins can be found in mint-sewn bags. But it's...
No repair was done. It's just die deterioration.
Separate names with a comma.
