Misprint cent????

Has anyone ever seen this on a coin? And what is this imprint from?

Looks like damage. Coins are not printed they are struck.

 

Stamp or print do you have any useful information, cause I really would like to know what caused this design. Not interested in any other SHADY comments such as photo taking or terms to use.

 

It was likely caused by another coin being pressed into it.

 

Gotta tell you NANA.......The photo taking comment was NOT a shady comment. He is right, the angle of your photo distorts the image, a nice sharp picture from straight above the coin will help us help you.

 

Hello.. Only the person that created those impressions to alter it would know how they did it.

Your Cent is DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged
Not an error of any kind.

I hope my post was not shady

nice start to your posts.

Since I am shady, I'll pass on commenting.

Your coin is damaged. And coins are not printed like stamps or currecy. They are struck. And yeah, your photos aren't good.

I advise you to take the advice you were given and not be a jerk about it. If you are only here to make a case that everyone else is wrong and you are right, I recommend you leave and join a different forum or get used to being ignored by the good people here.

It's probably safe to say that a second coin was pressed into this coin about four different times. Lots of the design was transferred but I can't tell what it is. With better images we might be able to. Almost looks like the second coin was an Indian head cent but it's probably not a match.
Seems like we are getting a lot of new members with a short fuse. I can understand that. Lots of folks that are stuck at home and looking for something to do. Hope some of these folks stick with the hobby.

 

I thought the same thing. Pattern looks similar.
Interesting.

 

How was that shady ? You asked and I answered. Wow. Live and Learn the correct terminology. Leave that attitude somewhere else.

 

Maybe you might be interested in the Real Shady - no misprints there

 

Your coin appears to me to be a "squeeze" or vice job. One object was squeezed into your coin. PMD, nothing more. I'll withhold my usual welcome until later.

 

2nd one for the ignore list in 5 minutes...

 

Ignoring the ignoramuses?

 

If the letters are reversed, and I can't tell from the photo,
them someone squeezed another coin onto this coin with a vise, (more than once) in a poor attempt to make an "error coin" and sell it for big bucks,
or just out of boredom.

 

It's damaged
