Probably my craziest error coin

I have a small handful of error coins in my collection, mostly off-centers and wrong metal strikes but this "double denomination" cent struck on a dime really caught my eye. It's cool how the date and each denomination is on both sides. Maybe an 11 cent piece?

It started out as a dime and then turned into a cent, so you lost 9 cents. Maybe a negative 9 cent piece?
Neat! Really like double denotations.

That is crazy.

I have one with nearly the same orientation of the olive branch. Love the look of the Lincoln Memorial through Roosevelts head.
I can see why you love it. Me too!
Very nice error!
That is really cool! How does something like that even happen?
The tote bins used at the mint are used to transport planchets and struck coins. A struck dime got caught in one of the seams of a tote bin and when the tote bin was later used to transport cent planchets, the struck dime got mixed in with the cent planchets.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Super cool, Erik!
Thanks for posting it.

I would love to know the story of the original find from circulation...

That is one awesome error! Looks AU or MS to me. Peace Roy

I am not an error guy but that coin is right up there.
Nice also that it wasn't the other way around, stuck on a zinc piece that would corrode over time...
He who knows he has enough is rich.
That's awesome!

Agree 200%!
I love those dime/cent overstrikes. Really cool.
That is a nice double denomination. I have seen another version in which both reverses are on the same side. You can thus see "One Cent" and "One Dime" on the same side.
Thanks for all the props, it really is a cool coin! Forgot to post the grade, it's graded MS-66 by NGC.
