    Can someone tell me what happened here?,.. I believe there are several things going on,.. Clashed die, multiple die brakes (reverse) that caused the multiple struck at Obverse? or stuck through die cap?,... The strucks are perfect match with the diameter of a penny, both sides are in perfect condition and the clashed mark is a "20".

    Thank you all!

    I believe the obverse had another coin squished onto it.

    Looks like a vise job on the obverse.

    Oh, and so this thread can be something folks can learn from -

    On the obverse, what you have circled that appears to be lettering, looks 'mirrored', which would indicated a coin-to-coin impression, rather then a die-to-coin impression.

    In other words, your coin has PMD, or Post Mint Damage, vs a minting error.

    It's damaged
    Not a Mint Error :yack:
    The others are correct.. Vise Job or Squeeze Job with another coin or coins.
