Hello everyone.
It is my first posting in here.
I am intrigued at this coin It looks like it has been, double stricken
I would appreciate any information on this.
Thank you!

Home made, IMO

Not an error, not double struck.
It is what is called a vise coin or a garage job. Another coin has been pressed into it.
If it was double struck, the letters would not be incuse and reading backwards.
Just a damaged cent now.

I think that it was one of the workers at the mint for it to look like it does.

I have to agree with coinguy. Original coin is 1941, impression coin is 1943.

I think that it was a worker at the mint. By using a vise or hammer/with leather, the impressed impression would have been on top of the normal design and it's not. The real reverse designs show on top of the impressed sections.

That sounds more like it for sure. in

To all the ones saying that this is a home made coin. If someone was banging it with a hammer or other tool, shouldn't take devices on the coin, should be all destroyed?? The coin in in super amazing condition. It doesn't look like it is a coin that has been used and abused.

Then how do you explain two different dates plus the fact that if it was struck twice, the second impression
would be raised and reading positive. It is also out of round which means that it could not have happened while in the collar and the reverse has been flattened from the obverse being pounded. Unless you were there, you might not ever know how it happened. The only thing that matters is that it could not have happened when the coin was struck which is the only time an error can occur.
It is a damaged coin plain and simple.

I think if you placed two coins in a vice or hydraulic press of some kind this could be accomplished.
Or at least I’ve heard of it being done.
I would think that the 1943 coin may have to be hardened a bit more then the 1941 but I don’t know if that’s possible or not.
Just an opinion, Real interesting coin how ever it was made

I made these “errors” as a kid. You take two coins place them on a piece of wood. Cover the coins with a flat washer then smash them with a sledgehammer. Easy peasy.
