2008 double strike penny

hi! My Dad found this penny. Not sure if it's die clash or a double strike or what. Any thoughts? Worth grading?

From your pic, it looks like it could be glue. So somone glued two cents togethor and when pulled apart the reverse of the top cent left an imprint in glue on this coin.

Can you see if you can get closer pics??

 

Sure do look like it!

 

If it were a Double Struck Cent the Reverse side would have evidence of it also.
PMD - Post Mint Damage is my analysis.

 

Not only that but how would the 1st stuck coin all of a sudden flip over and then be struck again?

 

You never heard of a Flipover Strike error?

That works for me!

 

Crazier things have happened:

I want to share this webpage with you - https://sullivannumismatics.com/coin/1c-1999-lincoln-cent-flip-over-double-strike-ms-64-redbrown

 

Oh - I thinks me both had some help - OK, so a 24 year old mint worker never screwed around?

 

OK - but no explanation how this type of error actually happens - that's what I was getting at - The HOW?

 

Apparently the Coin that is struck once ejects from the chamber but does not completely come out. Then it lands back into the chamber flipped around and gets struck again.

 

Go figure them odds!!!! I put my money on the Unicorn showing up to get fed! Although a nail just happened to fall into the dies so who knows!!

 

Not to hijack this thread. It's shocking to me how PCGS could actually call it a Mint Error!

 

$$$$$$$$$$$ Hmmmm familiar scenario?

 

Reverse side has similar damage but also of its opposite. Will try to post pic.
