Definitely need better pics. What little I can see, I would expect the head on the obverse to be more obliterated if an already struck dime was then struck by cent dies, especially with the pressure needed to strike the steel cents. Looks interesting.

Dustin6, thank you for getting me on the right path in my coin vocabulary.
I knew I needed better pix as I was taking them. The question is how? All I have is the camera on my android. Much of the detail I did have got taken away with the sites picture editor. Until I get beyond that, I'm still at square one.

What happened when you used the image optimizer? It shouldn't shrink the photo.

It actually got smaller. I played with the contrast to get as much detail as I could but the overall size (the second pic in particular) got smaller vs. the original image.

 to CCF. So you have a Merc struck on a cent planchet? How does a cent planchet fit into the collar of a dime? John1  |

The pictures are even smaller than before. This error would be impossible, a steel planchet could not fit into the Mercury dime collar. It would just not be possible |

Double denomination strikes are possible with a cent and a dime. True. But not a dime on a cent, a cent planchet will not fit into a dime collar. John1 |

Excactly what I am saying, a dime planchet can fit into the cent collar, but not the other way around
