Not a mint error. The coin was intentionally squeezed together with a cent making the impression you see. As Coop said, it is PSD, which means post-strike damage. It was damaged after it was created.

For the most part you can assume that in theory a smaller coin or blank can be struck/overstruck as a bigger coin but not vice versa.
A dime or dime blank can be struck/overstruck as anything.
A cent or cent blank can be struck/overstruck as anything other than a dime.
A nickel or nickel blank can be struck/overstruck as anything other than a cent or dime.
A quarter or quarter blank can be struck/overstruck as a half or dollar but nothing else.
In every case the images will not be mirrored or incuse.
Using those rules will weed out a lot of damaged coins.
It would have ruled this one out because a nickel or nickel blank can be struck/overstruck as anything other than a cent or dime.

Agreed, pressed against another coin under pressure.
