  I am going to guess without looking this up. A dime was stuck on the reverse die.

  Edited to add: I found the numismatic term: brockage.

  Weight?

  This looks like a clad layer that detatched after strike. The largest possible lamination, if you would...

  So, can you place an image of a similar dime with brockage so we can compare the differences? I understand that in person this is easy to determine. But online it is difficult to see that the dime is half the normal weight.
