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.All opinions expressed are not necessarily shared by willbrooks or his affiliates. Taking them may result in serious side effects. Results may vary.

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.Comment
