1988-P Dime - Strike Error

This dime has some kind of a strike error that I’m unable to figure out.
Misalignment appears to be in opposite directions. Reeding is abnormal as well.
Also, the color presents with a black/ gunmetal tint. Is this possibly improper annealing or just environmental?

Looks like a misaligned die strike (MAD). For coloring, I think it is environmental.

There is an CT post about MAD with an example similar to yours. Here it is:

Thanks for sharing. I was thrown off I guess because I’ve only seen minor misalignments and wasn’t aware the reverse showed weakness and doubled rim from the obv misalignment.
Looked this up on a site that details errors but for some reason there isn’t info on this specifically.

 

Interesting find.

 

Both sides are off. Slightly off center I think.
