    Nice alignment of the overstrike -

    A struck dime gets stuck in a bin and then cent planchets are poured into that bin releasing the struck dime.

    The batch goes into the cent presses and gets stuck as cents.

    The smaller diameter is the host coin. The larger diameter die strikes the host coin. The larger diameter or last strike is the denomination.

    Other cases that are opposite were done at midnight.

    Why not, this is a very easy to explain error coin as I did above.

    Not everything is a conspiracy.

    Cool error, EOC. Really like these coins having 2 heads on the same side. :)
