So I found this at a job today. Looks like it was double hit but with the other side. Pictures are not the best, tell me what you think and if it has any value.
Thank you.

Garrett Ace 250 and 350. Currently AT PRO.
It appears to me from what I can tell from the pictures that it was pressed together with another cent in a vise or something.

It's a vice job,The devices on the obverse are reversed/backwards and incuse. The reverse is just damage from being squeezed.100% Post Mint Damage

Someone stacked up two pennies and hammered them as hard they could. Now you get that impression on the coin.
