How can we be certain? Possible die clash?

The reverse looks like a faint head showing through and not pressed in

there is also an impression of LIBERTY on the reverse below America. Also TR impression at the top of the right wheat. I am still leaning toward a vise job of at least three coins.

I still think it's a die clash. The faint up side down Lincoln head on the reverse is protruding not indented.

Definitely a vise job. The device's are reversed backwards & incuse along with the damage to the rim on both sides. It was damaged after it left the mint

It's an absolutely fake attempt at an error. Coins sandwiched together with pressure applied.
Think about it. The words are reversed. If it was an error it would read correctly.

Just come in agreement with us. This isn't an error by any means. It is a Vise-Job and the letters on a genuine Double Struck error coins would be raised and read correctly. 100 Post Mint Damage.  To CCF!
Errers and Varietys.

The area affected is not where a die clash would happen. A die clash usually shows areas affected from the opposite die. There is no way, Liberty could be transferred onto the obverse, from a reverse die. It was created after it left the mint. The letters can appear on a reverse die, but not in that area.  The fields are usually the only areas affected. So there is no way your coin is a mint error. Note the tops of the devices are affected. Just what you would expect to see when three coins were stacked together between two pieces of wood and hit hard with a hammer. Just the areas were the hammer strike happens is where the contact marks would transfer. Your coin was the center coin in the stack.
