Please post a close-up out of the 2x2, and a photo of the other side.
And orient them right-side up.

Without seeing the other side, I am saying it is a vice job and has no value.
There is no way a nickel planchet can fit in a cent collar.

After seeing the obverse, it is definitely a vice job.
Keep as a novelty if you like but it has no numismatic value.

Someone took one of the removable discs that you knock out from an electrical box and then hammered a penny on top of it. That's why everything is backwards and probably recessed.

Definitely a vise or hammered coin. Not an error.

Please work on better images in the future.

I merged both topics for you.

Next time when you want to add extra images, please use the existing topic you create for a coin. Don't start a new one.

I agree with above. Not an error. It's PMD. Someone was messing around with it.
