Welcome to the forum.  What is it about the coin that makes you think it is struck on a cent?  It looks like a normal dime that has sustained damage. Coins like this are often called "dryer" coins, because being caught in a clothes dryer is often the source of such damage.

Welcome to the Chat Box

A cent is larger than a dime so it wouldn't t be smaller.

As I.cutler stated, it is a dryer coin. Put it on top of a regular dime and you will see that it is slightly smaller.

A cent coin (or a planchet) is too large to fit in the feeding mechanism for dimes. Therefore, a dime-on-cent error is not possible. However, a cent-on-dime error is possible.

OP's ("kevin gilland") dime appears normal except for the rim being pushed inward.
