If this mule was made unintentionally wouldn't there be many more in existence? Midnight minters at work here. I think coins like this should be seized by the Secret service. Laws had to have been broken here. Just my opinion.

Because it is struck with a cent obverse die, a cent collar die, and on a cent planchet, I would refer to it as a cent mule with a dime reverse. 3/4 of the coin is "cent" and only 1/4 is "dime."
The only thing "wrong" with the coin is that a reverse dime die was installed in the cent press, since everything else about the coin checks out like a normal cent.
The only denomination showing on the coin is "one dime," so it's a dime. Of course, it was probably accounted for by the mint as a cent, so someone owes someone 9 cents somewhere.
Imo, as Jon said, it's a Cent with a Dime Die Rev.

It was intended to be a Cent, so that's what it was monetized as.
I think it was intended to be exactly what it is, this isn't an error and these sort of mules should stop being seen as anything but what they are, intentionally made fantasy coins.

Another name for intentionally made fantasy coin is pattern….
haven't the other recently made mules been debunked as frauds and weren't they also from the same timeframe as this coin, 1999-2001?? I would imagine they were all made by the same person. while I find them interesting I don't believe they should be given any legitimacy.
Zions- you are correct saying “another name for intentionally made fantasy coin is pattern….”
Some patterns were authorized. Some of the fantasy patterns that are 2 Headed and 2 Tailed, and exotic mules with mis-matched dies were not authorized.
The same applies to mint errors. The vast majority were produced in the normal minting process, authorized and monitized, and occasionally they were not.

The 2001-D MS66RD sold for $114,000 back in June of last year.
What's this 2001 MS65RD worth in today's market?
Whats interesting is that Heritage indicates there are 4 specimens covering 3 years on cent planchets and just one specimen on a dime planchet.
A 2001-D Lincoln cent obverse and a Roosevelt dime reverse on a Lincoln cent planchet. The present lot.
Another. MS66 Red PCGS. Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2021), lot 3158.
A 1999 Lincoln cent obverse and a Roosevelt dime reverse on a Lincoln cent planchet. MS66 Red PCGS. Bellaire Collection; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2006), lot 5271.

It would be so great to find one of these in circulation..... Highly unlikely of course, but just imagine the thrill of such a find when checking pocket change or change from a purchase. Wow!! Cheers, RickO

The mint would say it can not be monetized as a cent nor dine. It is illegal and property of the mint. It must be seized.
You from Texas son?
peacockcoins
Lots of psychics from Texas?
Their were others?
All this talk is making me want a pizza and a six pack.
And of course when your ready.
It was intended to be a Cent, so that's what it was monetized as.

Are you sure it was monetized?

I gotta go with the denomination that is spelled out ONE DIME.
It would be a welcomed addition to just about any collection...including mine.

I think of this As neither but rather a 5.5C as it’s neither a full design of either denomination.
It had to be, Zoins. It was found mixed with other coins.

I think it was intended to be exactly what it is, this isn't an error and these sort of mules should stop being seen as anything but what they are, intentionally made fantasy coins.
If it was mixed with other coins, they were the coins in the minter's pocket.

Some patterns were officially made thou. @Zoins

If I spent it somewhere, I think they would accept it as 10c
I called it a cent, because it was made with: an obverse cent die, a cent planchet, a cent collar, but only a reverse dime die.

What does the CoinStar say it is ?
Good question! Someone should try it
