First welcome to CCF. Second, yes we see these with some frequency here and @john1 is correct that this cent has been damaged in an effort to make it look like a mint error.

As correctly stated above - this coin is not a mint ardor but produced by someone squeezing two coins together.

Great feedback all. I was stumped, I could not figure out how a penny can be re struck years after it was made. Still a great piece to add to my collection.

1. If it were from a strike by a die, then the devices would not be mirrored.
2. The devices would be raised, not incuse.
3. Also, the design for a coin 31 years earlier than shield reverse could not be on the struck coin.
Just couldn't happen.
