Hello everyone I got this penny today in my change and at first thought someone had tried to cut it, upon closer inspection I see its not cut but stamped through the date with the E and M of America from the reverse and they are about in the same spot they are on the reverse also you can see other letters above in god we. I believe it is from another planchet that got stuck and stamped down on this coin. Thanks your comments are appreciated thanks!

@jam, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like you have what we affectionately call a vise-job. Someone has stacked a few cents and then squished them together causing mechanical transfer of the design from one coin to the other. This is damage and has no numismatic value.

Just damage, probably intentional.
If another planchet had gotten stuck, both of the coins would have been flattened from the pressure.

Agree with all above. Might want to keep it as a fun curiosity.

to the CCF and The way to tell that it's a vise job is that the devises are mirrored or backwards when they are pressed into the coin.
