Thank you for the response. Could it be valuable?

Looks like design elements from the reverse of a dime somehow ended up on the reverse of a penny. If the design elements are raised it could be a type of double denominational error but if they are incuse, it's def created by someone playing with their vise in their garage. I've found a few of them and they get you all excited for nothing. People are just wrong for purposely putting those into circulation.  |

Yes I'm thinking this is a vise job as well (purposeful damage).

I agree with vise job. You can see where the rim of the dime cuts through the lettering.
Value 1 cent as it is considered damage but keep it as a novelty if you like.

Vise job, yes. Of course, clever use of a hard rubber mallet could produce similar results.

Thank you for your responses. The only other question is how do you squeeze two coins in a vise and only transfer a small part under the coin wouldn't it put the whole coin press into it.

Just depends how hard you squeeze and how you line it up, high points hit first. If you stop then, only the high points transfer.

depends on how tight you crank the vise. Lightly the higher devices will transfer. Crank it hard and all will show up from both coins:  Not a mint error. How could you have a mark from a die many years back. It didn't happen at the mint. Done in a garage trying to make someone think it was an error and sell them. Hopefully you got it for face value. It is only worth what it says on the back of the coin. PSD. |

JDRMCB for example proves the point that I'm trying to make is how do you put two coins together press them in a vice but only have one part of the other coin show up on it. The coin you're showing me you can see letters and markings over the entire thing not just one section
