I've had this "penny" for years. I don't remember where I aquired it. I am looking for any info that may be out there about this. It appears to have been impressed by a previously struck penny on both sides. Looking forward to responses.

 Without photos it's tough to give you accurate information. However, 99.9999999999% of such coins have had clear glue applied, another cent is lain on top, then pulled off when the glue is dry, making it look like there is a reverse. |

Is it reading in reverse or positive. If reverse, it could be pressed glue as mentioned or a vise job where someone has squeezed coins together under pressure. Anyway to the CCF |

Here is my second try to load pictures of my reversed image coin. I don't know the nature of the process of an image caused by glue. The image on this coin is able to be felt as a depression in the surface. Once again any comment or ideas are welcome.   |

That's a typical vise job. Two coins were pressed together leaving that imprint. Also looks like it may have been shot.

If the devices on both sides are pressed into the blank/planchet, they may have tried to make a vise squeezed coin from two 1952-D Cents. Looking at the the light reflections it looks like both sides were pressed and mirrored from two different coins. If that is the case the weight will be 3.11 grams if the material is copper and 2.5 grams if it is zinc. If the coin is lighter than normal, a coin may have been sanded and removed all the devices. (copper in this case) the squeezed and would be lighter in weight because of the removed devices.

That's not just a vise, try a 10,000lb hydraulic press. Even a sledge hammer at full swing wouldn't have enough force to imprint that deep of detail transfer!
