look what I found!!! What kind of error? Is it worth anything?

I just found this Lincoln cent in a roll and it really caught me by surprise! It looks like multiple heads backwards on the obverse and even a Lincoln head on the reverse. Can anyone tell me if its worth anything and what kind of error? Thanks

Coins clamped together in a vise. Sorry.

 

It is what is called a "squeeze job" Where two cents are squeezed together and the face of one is impressed ( reversed) into the other. Usually using a vise. At yard sales, you often see them.Damage

 

Oh well I guess I'll keep looking

 

Call the "Vise" Squad!!

 

If you find one where Lincoln is raised with no mirror lettering you might have something .

 

Thank you rzage. Is there any common errors that I might be able to find easily to help me gain more confidence in hunting? Iv searched the web for different know errors and $400 in Lincoln cents and I have been feeling really discouraged. Iv found a few die chipped ones for my collection but that's about it.

 

There are doubled dies , but they can be confused with common machine Doubling .

 

Iv found my fair share of machine doubling :/

another common error to look for on cents are clashes, i find a lot from the 80's, mostly on the reverse side, but any date could have it...http://www.maddieclashes.com/

few examples
1982 upside down "Y" from "LIBERTY" between 2nd an 3rd column

a 1983


1998


1999 obverse clash


2011 shield obverse

all found roll searching, and i just found a 2015 obverse clash few days ago, once you know what to look for you'll spot them, check out the denominational overlays on the link above.... happy hunting

 

that is one very cool squeeze job--looks cool-but sorry not worth more than a cent, IMO
