Hole Outta Roosie - 1966 dime

Thoughts on if there’s any way this is a real error coin. I have watched vids on how coins are minted but don’t grasp all of it..
Dad threw his spare change in a 5 gallon bottle for many decades, doesn’t recall ever seeing it before, so no help there
There is no luster atp, it is slightly concave on the obv and convex on rev. Doesn’t stick to a fridge magnet. Weighs 1.8g
Thanks for your thoughts

    So now you have one opinion from one random person you don't know. And you accept it just like that?

    Why don't you line up the reasons you think it is a real error, and the reasons you think it isn't, so you can apply what you've learned to the next coins that you find?

    "This has to be a real error because __________ cannot happen outside of the minting process."

    If there's nothing to fill in the blank, then you have an answer you can trust.

    True - just because MW makes really funny posts and is a wizard with the memes doesn’t mean he’s a great numismatist. There’s prob a meme coming now..

    I really appreciate your response -
    I think you have given this advice to newbies before and I tried to follow it but got stuck filling in the blank because the devices of the blob/mini planchette stuck on top seemed to have been struck at the same time because they match up so well. In my gut I know this is a Frankencoin even tho it looks kinda cool
