1983d Double Pressed.... any ideas

First and foremost, I've seen a lot of posts saying that it looks like a squeeze job lol which I could understand people doing that.
But this particular penny is not pressed perfectly on both sides and when I say that I mean, normally when a penny is pressed it is aligned on both sides, if you're looking at Lincoln's head directly in front of you perfectly aligned up and down, you should be able to flip the penny forward and over and the back side will be equally aligned with the front.
I double check this with other pennies.
This particular dye error is definitely not a press job because it would have had to come from the mint in this condition way back whenever.
If you're looking at the penny on a counter completely "squared" then
when I flip it over equally the back should be "squared" alignment wise.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining this correctly but they both should be centered with each other front and back.
If I flip this particular penny, the front is misaligned with the back which kind of makes it have to come from the mint and that condition. Right?
I'm not an experienced coin collector however I did compare this to other pennies and found that this one is not aligned with the front as it should be.
And the imprint of "Lincoln's Memorial" it's running across Lincoln's face almost vertically and I can see the words e pluribus unum kind of following suit with the print of Lincoln's memorial going across vertically.
So my question is this, what is this coin worth? I'm almost sure it is copper and zinc in composition. So it's not one of the rarer 1983 solid copper pennies.

I believe what you have there is a vise job. if the coin was double struck, the impression would not be reversed, but I’m sure some of the pros will chime in and confirm.

 

Can't tell anything from those pics at all. Take a good in focus pic and crop out everything that isn't the coin. That would allow us to have an idea of whats going on there. Form the little bit I can see in the pic of the obverse I would say either vise job as @Cazador indicated or adhesive residue from the coin being glued to another. The pics just aren't good enough to narrow it down further.

 

You have nothing but a damaged coin. It did not leave the mint looking like that.

Thomas,
Your Cent is not a Mint Error of any kind. It was altered post mint.

There is no need for more images. It's clear what it is but the OP will never believe the truth.

 

Also.. there is no dye used in the minting process. A Die is used to strike blank planchets.

And yes.. it definitely is a press/vise job.

 

Vice job for sure! And heavy PMD also.

Ty for your response. Why do you think the front and back are "misaligned" when I flip the coin over?
All the rest of my Penny's are perfectly aligned when flipped slowly up and down. This penny is about 18/20 degees off of each other. I do know the difference and they should be perpendicular of each other when flipped over... do you think that to could be pressed on a vice or at the mint? Because it's only been pressed once at the mint and there are no "vice marks" on the back.
Both sides should be even when turned over, And when it was originally pressed at the mint, the back is definitely off center of the front? How si do you think that might have happened? (Spell check enabled)

Ok, ty

 

Ok, will do

 

What is PMD?

 

Kk, ty

 

I have lots of .50 cent pieces and not sure which years are the best ones to look for errors...??
Which years are the best to look for?

1806 and 1807 are fun years.
