Hi, I found this wheat penny today and when I tried to see the date, I noticed it had the impression of a barber dime embossed into it. after getting home and washing it off, there are two distinct impressions of two barber dimes stamped into the penny. Look at the pics and tell me what the deal is. thanks.

Looks like someone put one on top of the other and took a hammer to it.

I agree it looks like it was hammered the second pic shows some damage like it was 2 coins hammered together!!! Chug

I forgot to mention, there are two barber dime impressions. the "half moon" depression has the impression of a second barber dime.

Here's the image reversed so you can read the "one dime" and see it a little more clearly. also, if you'll notice to the right of the photo at about the three o'clock position you'll see where the second dime was laying.

I agree that it seems to be from 2 coins hammered together.........Looks like the back of a barber/seated dime to me........Denver mint.........
