Thank you all for responding so quickly. And for educating me on the now obvious signs of what makes this coin a vise job. Even though this coin was nothing special, it has definitely sparked an interest in coins, and collecting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Each image represents one side of the penny. I'm fairly new to coins and the errors the errors they have. Found this at the bottom of my purse today, noticed it had the same image on both sides, and looks like the image on each side has been stamped multiple times. It's really hard to see what exactly happened to the coin, but wondering if I could get a little insight as to what errors the coin has.

Thank you in advance and please let me know if I need to upload more pictures.

I think it's a Vise Job but let's let others weigh in?

Note the backwards wording IMPRESSED into the surface? This is b/c someone squeezed the coin you have between two other cents using a vice. The outer coins' designs were impressed into the middle coin.

This is what as known as a "vise job" as it was created in someone's basement in a vise. It is impossible for an error like this to occur at the mint, this was someone's "get rich quick" idea. This is post mint damage. Notice the backwards lettering? Vise job.
