    Hey everyone. This penny looks like the imprint on the front was stamped twice and the incorrect stamp to the right is reversed where the face is facing the left face (like they are kissing). Have you seen this happen on a 2016 penny? If so, WIW? 20200207_162011.jpg

    Danomite What do you say uh-huh

    This is environmental damage/toning. Coins are struck, not stamped. Here is a link to the minting process.

    It is not a "doubled" "die". It was not "minted" incorrectly. What you are seeing in the "kissing" side is what is known as paredolia. Your coin has come into contact with something in its life that toned it that way.

    It's probably toned from urine, it happens sometimes.
