Lincoln Cent Memorial Reverse Mule struck on Roosevelt Dime Reverse

So I have this Lincoln Cent Memorial Reverse Mule struck on Roosevelt Dime Reverse. The Dime reverse has a cracked Die. It looks like the dime has a Planchet error. Weight is 1.2 grams. Has anyone seen this or heard of anything like it?

In my opinion, it is highly suspect to have two different metals, one per side. None of the us mint planchets come like this. Another thing is, the reverse of the dime has a type 2 rim, and the Lincoln reverse does not. The coin should have reeding from the dime strike, but there isn't any photo of the rim.

The weight is significantly off, making it more suspect. If the weight was closer to a dime or cent planchet weight, it may have a slim chance of being authentic.

This coin may have been manufactured by some one with a lathe. They used the lathe to cut down the coins and some how adhered them together. If they did a sloppy job, they simply glued them together and you can see it on the rim. The more savvy maker hollows out one coin, and then, adds a paper thin piece from the other coin to cover that hole, making it look more convincing, but still a forgery outside the mint.

It's almost a magicians coin, with a twist. Some people have too much time on their hands and manufacture worthless garage coins for the fun of it.
