One of a kind Vise Job is the term used most often.
Now just a damaged coin.

Good photos, but yes, a vise job. Key giveaway is the reversed lettering.

@rke, yes we see these things pretty often here on CCF. If you type VISE JOB into the search bunch, you will see a whole bunch of threads with them.

It's actually a really good example - the impressions of the donor cent are really deep and detailed.

yep, a vise job for sure - done to fool the inexperienced collector to give up their hard earned money.

One would think that, because one of the busts was facing in the wrong direction, people would automatically know that it could not have happened at the mint.

I agree with tooled coin.
One can further his/her knowledge of minting process by research and study the coin minting process and it'll help to understand coins can not come out of mint looking this way, the first give away is the reversed impression of the devices onto the primary coin.
