Hey guys! I bought 100 random wheat pennies from a coin shop and look what I found!

So what I think I have here is a WOW die clash.
I've looked on the internet but can't find any as good as mine.
Can someone tell me what this is worth and approve that it is a WOW die clash?
C'mon error pros! :-)

Actually it appears to be a coin that was sandwiched between two other coins and squeezed in a vice or hit with a hammer. A die clash would never be that bold on the high points of the coin, the high points of the coin are the low areas of the die so would not be marked on a die clash.

I agree 100%!

Too bad it's not a real error but I think it's still neat anyway. Thanks for the help guys!

I was a coin dealer for 20 years... It is not a die clash...It looks as if someone took another coin and then hit them very hard with a hammer... try it with a couple of modern coins...
