Found this today, any thoughts?

It must have reminded someone of their ex.

If it were actually struck multiple times, the devices would be off-center. They aren't; in fact, they're under the damage.

This cent wasn't struck incorrectly; it was savagely attacked.

 

PMD, not an error.

 

ditto

 

someone hammered something onto that coin, you can tell by the flattening on the reverse and the expansion of the metal around the reverse rim...

 

And what was hammered into your penny was much larger in diameter than a penny.

You've been here for 5 years and you're a member of ANA. You still don't know how to tell the difference between damage and a minting error?

 

Just look at the date and the word Liberty (what there is of it). It's perfectly lined on what you call strikes. If in fact, these were strikes, they could not be lined up. Some person much more creative then me, has found a way to fool a seasoned collector. This is nothing but a copper penny with a severe case of PMD (Post Mint Damage).

 

It was struck 4 times, just not by a mint press ..

 

I also agree with the others. Not an official error
Post Mint Damage!

 

Well actually he never said it was from the mint!

 

Would this be called "going postal"?

 

No seasoned collector would be fooled by that.

 

That sure is a "Quadruple Struck Cent"

Struck 4 times with something after it left the US Mint.

 

Now these are Quadruple Struck Errors!!!! (not my coins)

 

early waffle coin?

 

"Going Mintal".

 

Whoa!!! Now, I love those!!!

 

I thinkith someone is trying to foolith us...LOL.

 

I don't know how anyone would make this.

 

...dangit...got sucked into looking at another post in the Error forum...stupid stupid stupid...
