1994 P Dime Struck on Penny

My 1st time here. I am collector different things, mostly jewelry & some oddities. I have an interest in coins..and always look closely at each one before putting in change jar or prior to spending. I came across this and found it very interesting. Appears to be a dime struck on a penny. What do you think. .and what next?

    No it is a dime struck on a dime planchet that was caught in a commercial dryer or spooned, not an error.

    Just damaged edge, probably from spooning. Regular dime that someone played with.

    Ask yourself: why is your "cent" planchet silver?

    You might also weigh the coin. Dimes and cents don't weigh the same.

    It's not a dime struck on a penny.

    It a dime that was either intentionally or unintentionally worn or impacted on the edge so that the reeding was obliterated.

    What they call Post Mint Damage.
