Known as a vise job. Three coins are squeezed together leaving the indentation of the outside coins on the middle coin. Easy to tell it was deliberate as the impressions are in reverse

Thanks for your help. I appreciate your quick response. I suspected something like that was the case.

The reason I think someone just took another penny and hammered on it is the mirror image date, which looks like 1986. A 2016D penny probably did not get a 1980s cent stuck between planchet and die at the mint. Could be that instead of pounding, someone mashed them together in a vise; not sure.

Thanks for your help. I appreciate your quick response.

Hi, I know a little about coin collecting, but this one is way past my pay grade. I have a Lincoln cent that appears to have multiple strikes on both the front and back. It has 2 different dates on the front strikes. I'm assuming that this has to have been done outside the mint, but I thought I would ask for input from people who are more knowledgeable than me. I uploaded some photos, and would greatly appreciate any opinions.

Thanks in advance. Dan
