Feels like a detached clad layer.

 

Out of collar brockage. Just a guess as I have no experience with error coins

 

Something from out of this worldmany would think its damaged but I call tell its not that case and have never seen one like this before,intreasted to see its name reveal.

 

no clad in 1963.

rev brockage, obv struck thru

 

It's a penny strike on a nickel planchet.

 

I would call this a CC, Crumpled Coin.

 

Looks like it would fit right in with the damaged coins on etsy. Though this is an actual error.

 

It appears to be a copper shell -

Struck onto a normal coin;
The incused side was down;
and the obv. side was struck
thru something also.

The 'shell' could be a thin
rolled thin planchet

 

My newbie guess would be a planchet that somehow(?) got layered over an existing penny and stamped. What we're seeing on the reverse is the imprint from the stuck penny it was stamped on top of.

 

I’m not even going to guess. I just want to know so I have a response that will let me know.

 

Struck through/over blank planchet?

 

Reverse Brockage with an odd strikethrough?

 

After digesting Fred's explanation, I would say there is no coin there. There is simply the thin copper shell described by Fred, said shell (very thin piece of copper) having been struck after being placed between an already struck 1963 cent and the hammer? die. Neither the original 1963 cent nor the hammer die moved or changed position prior to, or during, the second strike. The copper piece was so thin that it actually wrinkled from the force of the strike.

That is my best guess and I owe that guess to the astute obversational powers and the almost magical knowledge of Fred Weinberg, that he has gathered, gleaned, and gained over the many years he has spent in this most serious of Sciences, in this most habit-inducing of Hobbies, and in this most enjoyable of Endeavors, Numismatics.

 

Magician trick coin shell that was damaged? LOL

 

Die cap?

 

Capped anvil die when next planchet moved into place and was struck through. Split the oreo...

 

It's an abomination and I love it!
