Interesting deformed dime??

Sheldon

Found this in my change some years back and thought I 'de post some pics. Looks like the dime planchet was deformed or the die that struck it was deformed. Any thoughts? I'm surpised it was circulating around so long before I picked it out as it looks so odd.

Not sure how to interpret that response. Are you suggesting it's a doctored coin??

These are usually caused by intense sudden heat as by an acetylene torch. Trapped
air will expand and cause weak spots in the cladding to expand away from the core.
