This coin was squeezed with another cent in a vice, leaving the imprint of the reverse of the other cent onto this one. The imprinted devices being reversed and incuse is a telltale sign of this.

WOW...Neat Item Indeed!
I'm not an expert on this but it appears to be a Brockage type where the reverse was punched while the obverse was being struck...It looks partial "slanted"
I would imagine, you should have this looked at by an expert who can identify the type of brockage coin.
Neat Find!

Just a damaged coin. As mentioned, it's squeezed in a vise with another coin transferring some devices mirrored from another coin. We see these quite often.

with coop. Vice squeezed coin. Fairly common, not a mint error, just PMD.

With future posts, please please remove coins from the 2x2's or other holders so we can properly see the surface of your coins (plus, it will make your photography easier).

Not a brockage but only damage as noted above. This one is a spender.

Thank you all for your comment about this coin, just learn another man using a vice and having no virtues. Another learning experience for me and for others. Thank you all and have a wonderful day.
