Usually this happens when two coins get fused together with some sort of glue, and then separated. You are looking at the imprint in glue residue.
Or a vise job

I agree with P0CKETCHANGE - the irregular shape of the impression points to it being glue residue from when a dime and quarter were glued together, rather than a vise job.
I collect world proof sets, coins featuring composers, mid-20th century U.S. proof coins, U.S. type coins, and whatever else I want.
If it's glue, it will usually come off after soaking it in acetone.

I agree it's probably glue. It's not a vice job because the reverse side should show some flattening.
Another possibility is it could be struck thru a piece of struck Dime scrap, but glue is the most likely cause.
Definitely not a mint error.
