New to all this, so I'm just going to list what I've found about this, what I think is so neat, of a penny with possible die errors. Helpful and educational opinions, and comments would be greatly appreciated. Please remember I'm very new to all this so my error labeling words my be incorrect. These are the best pictures I can get with my cell
1-size of nickel but has correct penny weight in grams
2-obverse has multiple over lays of obverse and reverse reliefs (rasided designs?)
3-only definite date and mint found is 2005D
4-struck times found at least 3-4
5-reverse side struck at least 3 times off centered

Those are not errors on your coin. It damage caused by some one squeezing three coins together, possibly in a vice. If it was truly an error, the copy would not be in reverse. It is usually referred to as a vise job.
Refer to the Search section in the upper left hand corner for more examples. This question has been asked many times.

Pictures are too small to tell for sure but it could also be glue.

Intentional vise or mallet job ('pressing' coins together). Giveaway is the reverse lettering/features.

classic vise job, or could be dried glue (from the glossy appearance). no mint errors here, just someone fooling around, squeezing Two Cents together.

$100 we see this on ebay. Sorry to be facetious but if this was legit it'd be the find of the century.
