This one looks to have brockage from a previously struck coin that caused the collar to not fully deploy ,leaving a partial collar error and some finning between the collar and anvil die at the point of brockage .

Interesting coin that's out of the ordinary. The radius of the "indent" appears smaller than a dime so it's not caused by part of the die. The raised lines around the perimeter of the "indent" don't match any coins I'm familiar with. (If these were from the reeds on the collar they would be in a straight line, not curved.) Even though it's interesting I believe it to be PSD. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

Appears to have strong and consistent reeding all the way around, so not struck out of the collar.
No distortion or flattening to the reverse on or near the word "States", which you would expect if the obverse indentation were made post strike.
Is it possibly a partial collar error that was also struck through a piece of broken collar? That might explain the raised elements of the indentation, which bear some resemblance to reeding.

This dime features a partial collar error and a partial brockage.

I combined most of the images into a single educational image. Just not a combination error, seen very often.

Actually, it's quite common for partial brockage errors to co-occur with partial collar errors. The protruding coin has a tendency to force down the collar.

Very interesting this fact or theorem. Make sense to me when I look globally to the mint process and the presses they use. Thanks Mike to open the eyes to this topic.
