I've seen a lots of counter stamped cents roll searching, but never anything like this. Not sure what it is.

That's pretty cool.

Based on the position of the marks, it appears that someone was messing around with a couple of dies in a drop forge-type setup. They needed more force to get a better result (particularly on the reverse) but it's still fun.

Nice.

The front looks like a deer or reindeer. Not sure about the W on the reverse but it looks like the Willard Whyte hotel logo from the James bond movie Diamonds Are Forever.
