I'm going to leave it here a bit before I explain. Not a common error, but they are obviously out there.

They are... but they are struck through. Sometimes when the collar is not functioning properly strips of reeding can be sheared off in a strip, then sometimes that strip end up on the next planchet.

This is "Struck through detached reeding."

Note how it stops at the rim.
Little rim ding there, I'm sure that came after.

So the stripped reeding would be crushed in the first coin it gets punched into and wouldn't continue to punch into a coin like this over and over, right?

Nice! Struck through detached reeding.

This may help demonstrate what may have happened. This dime has been struck at least twice, once in collar and at least once outside of the collar. The first strike left the reeded edge and the additional strike or strikes stretched the reeding to the point that it split.

The reeded edge didn't cause a strike through on this coin, but it could have, and as some of the reeding is missing, it could have caused a strike through on a different coin.
