What does the reverse look like? It looks like another cent was pressed against this one

Thanks for the quick posting of that picture. The reverse look bent up and a little crushed. So I would call this PMD (vise job) at this point.. Edited by Dearborn

@Dearborn if that's the case I don't feel too bad. I bought it on a whim just by looking at the front of the coin with no scope on me. I paid 7.00 for it thinking it was a Cud until I got it home and got a closer look at it. |

Well, you are not out too much, I have made a few silly purchases as well, I chalk it up as a learning experience. (I still have the coins too)
In your own defense, by just looking at the obverse only, it does look interesting.. I had a hunch that the reverse may show the whole story - (which it did)
This is the main reason we always ask that posters always post up full coin both sides of their coin, because sometimes we will see something that others may miss

I appreciate all of the comments and possible ideas of what it may be, but if you could see what I see that you can't Teel by the pictures is that it's not a vice damage, it's actually missing, it looks like it was peeled off. It's hard to explain but it just doesn't look like any kind of vice or squashing of the coin. I just wish I could show in photos what it really looks like. I may take it to an expert here in town for a better idea. Thanks everyone.

Looks like the obverse has been varnished, that space just didn't get varnished. That would explain the half moon being incused. Soak it in acetone for an hour or so.
