Canadian coin struck over 1963 Lincoln Cent?

I have an unusual 1963 Lincoln Cent with Canadian imprints. I've included multiple pictures and am interested to here your opinions on this coin.

The inverted image is pretty much a guarantee of a hammer job.

 

Agreed. A hammer job.

 

Yep, I concur. MC Hammer job.

 

Yup, yup, yup.

 

It's been put in a vice with a Canadian 1c. coin & a block of wood either side & bashed with a hammer.

Aidan.

 

Has to be a hammer job and a bad one at that

 

Hammer job, but contrary to popular belief, you CAN touch it.

 

US doesnt mint coins for Canada, or vice-versa, which would eliminate a 'mint error'.
Its been hammered in one way or another, but not while held in a vice, since that doesnt make sense.

 

anyone ever try reversing the image then the hammer?

 

sure, hold the claw and hit it with the handle.
