could be a double strike, I'd check with a coin dealer. don't let them keep it though, hang on to it,
even if they say it's not worth anything now, who knows what could happen in twenty years

My sister found one almost like that in her change.Check and see if the Design on either side is
recess down in the metal.If it is, it is just like my sisters.Someone took a penny and put it between
another penny and a nickle and pressed them together in some sort of vise.
But that is still a neat find.

It is concave on the reverse and convex on the front,,,thanks for looking,,,,,,art
 

If you look at the side that has the nickel on it it is backwards.I still say that is was probably done after
the mint and was done in a press.But that is just my guess.Still a cool find Congrats.

The original coin was a 1974-D penny. Someone used a vise to put the impression of a penny reverse on the reverse, the words the are backwords prove this. They also smashed a nickel impression on the front, notice that Jefferson is looking the wrong way? Not a mint error and no value besides an interesting trinket...
