how is an error like that created?
Intentionally.

What does it grade? I am guessing this is for your personal collection?

Two different coins too 1996 and 2000.
Maybe two different mints (OP) a Philly, the reverse is Denver
The old switcheroo?

Those are two different holders; the obverse is obviously a NGC (four white prong) holder. The reverse looks like ANACS, solid clear gasket.

LOL
It's about time! The reverse is very cool as well.

Which One? Honestly it doesn't really matter with these as I look for placement of the strikes which is way more important.
I bought this to resell but have since changed my mind as it is super nice and is my daughter's birth year. I guess she just inherited another $1000 plus ...
Off Metals/Wrong Planchets occur.
The Mints use (or used to use) very large Tote Bins
that would hold many many thousands of planchets.
These bins have a 'trap door' at the bottom.
Let's use Clad Cents and Cents on Struck Dimes for examples:
A Bin filled with Dime Planchets is moved to the Dime Press area.
It's either lifted, or positioned, for the trap door to open, and the
planchet feed their way down, eventually being fed, one by one,
by Feeder Fingers, into the coining chamber with two dies and a collar.
When the bin is emptied, sometimes a planchet can get stuck in a corner,
or in the 'trap door' area - and then that bid is moved to the area where
empty bins are stored. Two days, two weeks, or two months later,
that same bin is now pulled out of the area, and filled with Cent planchets,
and the process goes on as described above.
That planchet would fall into the Cent Press area, along with the thousands
of cent planchets, and then get struck as a Cent on a Dime Planchet, or
"Clad Cent" as we like to say.
Those bins were also used for the just-struck coins to go into - and if the
bin is emptied of struck dimes, and one or two struck dimes get stuck in
the bin (as described above), and then eventually get filled again with cent
planchets, that struck dime will fall into the Cent Press, and get struck again
as a Cent - or a Double Denomination - A Cent struck on a previously struck
Dime - or an "Eleven Cent Piece", as they're called.
Some Wrong Planchet and Double Denomination errors are rarer than others -
and some show more detail of the original strike than others...........
Hope this helps a bit in understanding them. They are not intentional errors.
Double Denominations occur the same way that

Thank you for your description. I understand how this could happen unintentionally much better.

Here is the reverse of the 1996 .... I love the double "AMERICA"
1. Those made in error normally, as part of the Minting Process,
and were released normally too - in Mint Sewn Bags, rolls, etc.
This includes, sometimes, some dramatic error coins that others
might think/assume were done intentionally, but weren't.
2. Those made in error normally, as part of the Minting Process,
and shouldn't have been released in Bags - such as Multi-coin
clusters, Bonded Die Caps, coins on Feeder Fingers, and many others.
They were made in error by the normally manufacturing process, but
might be too big, too large in diameter, too many pieces, etc. to be
thought of as coming out of a bag or (especially) a roll.
3. Those made intentionally/on purpose, and taken out of the Mint.
There are numerous examples of this category on the market,
such as the Sac. $1's and New Hampshire 25C's that were fed into
the Cent press and struck - so there's a full Lincoln Cent design in
the Middle of both sides of a Sac Dollar or New Hamp. Quarter.
Nails are in this category, imo, even though Tom's (the Capt.) explanation
could be the reason. (I strongly believe that both the Cent Nails from
1977, and the Dime Nails from 2000, were done on purpose, as well as
the New Hampshire (I think) Quarter on a Nail.
And, as I've stated before, In General, with some exceptions, the Mint and
SS and Mint Police are more interested in plugging a leak at any Mint more
than seizing coins like those in #3, as long as the leak is plugged, and no
coins/errors are currently being taken from the Mint. (this comes from many
decades of dealing with the SS/Mint, etc., and having numerous direct
conversations with the (now retired) Chief Mint Police - the gentleman who
was in charge of Security for ALL the US Mints, Depositories (including
Fort Knox), and more.....
