    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.

    Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.

    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.
