Well i didn't expect this...looks like the Germans got the last laugh on a nice mercury dime in 1945..lol.

It looks like impressed edge reeding from another dime, but it's impossible to know whether it happened at the mint or sometime later.

Looks like she's wearing a 70s sweat band...lol...must have taken some pressure to leave that kind of impression...my lcs got a sealed tube of gold maples in from 2005 and inside were two maples sealed together, a double planchet with the obverse and reverse but stuck fast, not glued up the definition of two and exact double weight but joined...in proof like condition.

I'm thinking mechanical like a finished coin fell and then the next coin fell but stood up and was forced against the previous one...it looks like it was done during production as no grubbyness was forced into misshapen in the grooves...it would be nice to get graded but its not an error but likely production damage, still cute to have.

It would take considerable pressure to make the sharp, deep impressions. Likely home workshop fun.

Its lighter on the outside edges and a curved track...its definitely a conversation piece.
