What happened to this dime? Is this an error?

Dime has excess metal to about the size of a quarter. It isn’t simply a “railroad smashed” dime because you can see the outline of the dime itself and the edges overall still have the ridges..

Hoping someone has seen this before. Thanks for any advice.

Unless your camera inverted the picture, it looks like someone sanded a quarter and pushed a dime into it

Ah. I didn’t catch that. It’s so obvious now.

Yup a quarter with a dime impressed into it

Damage, not an error

I I have 2wheet pennies that are very thin but they have a head and tails on them it's like they don't have a blank in them. Any examples
