I found this dime while Penny CRH. I assume it is PMD but the back has me stumped. I really am not sure what to think.

I don't know either, but I agree with PMD.

It looks to be a pressed coin. That's where someone took a second dime and placed the obverse side on the Obverse of this coin and pressed the 2 together with the rotation being turned, to make it look like a double struck coin. The date on the pressed coin looks to of been an 1995 and the other on looks to be a 1993

If this coin was a double struck coin all the lettering would be the same "Not" flipped and reversed kind of like looking in a mirror.

You can see the reeding next to the rim on the obverse at 3:00. Looks like a vise job.
