These are not mules. If they were mules, they would be made of one metal, one planchet. In this case two coins, a cent and a dime, were cut in half and stuck together, post strike. The seconed one may have been lathed. Both not worth anything, unless you can get someone to take it as a dime, maybe just a curiosity.

This is a type of Magician's coin that allows whoever properly works the gimmick to make a dime disappear or turn into a penny by pushing and/or manipulating the pieces in one's hand. When they're properly fitted, it usually takes a separator or "bang ring" to pull the pieces apart again.
