I found some interesting finds...

I found the weird coin in a nickel bag. I'm thinking that it is probably post-mint damage, but I'm not certain. It is a bit thinner than a normal cent and is an obverse image superimposed on the reverse. There is an extra obverse image superimposed on the front as well. The front also has parallel lines across it.

I believe the other coin is a '59 proof. It is a bit thicker than a normal (uncirculated copper cent). The surface is very reflective and it almost has a golden hue to it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Does that Flatten Coin have "Trust" on it twice?? Or am I seeing things?

Yeah. It is kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but there is the "regular" trust in the location where it should be, and then a reverse trust from the backwards bust of lincoln. I have heard of people doing this kind of thing with a hammer and a couple of pennies, but I think there are also mint errors that are at least somewhat similar to this.
