Not an error. PMD. It's a Vise Job. Your coin has been heavily damaged. Worth face value. https://www.error-ref.com/squeeze-j...-garage-job/

See how the letters and building are backwards? That is because two coins were put in a vise so, not an error, just damaged.

When you see reverse images, it's usually a vise job.

You should always include an image from both sides.
There is usually important information we need from the second side to determine PSD vs error.

A number of things are making me think this is PSD. (And not struck through a die cap)
-The area of the rim near the date that is flattened.
-The recessed groove following the rim, below the reverse letters of RICA CENT shouldn't be there if it were double struck.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Just asking, do you not understand the meaning of the term "vise job"?

@Mikeyworms...
No worries, if two coins, cents in this case, were squeezed together in a vise, then separated, the impressions would appear on each coin and each coin would still have the correct weight ~3.11 grams.
Hope that helps. Keep searching, asking, and learning!
Good Luck!
