lol but does anyone really know

It's called a double die (sp) a common mint error. Caused by the stamp being misaligned... worth a little more than standard issue..... Check out a coin magazine for errors pricing

thank you!

Let me preface this with I don't know a whole lot about coins..

PepperPhil, why is this considered a "doubled die" error? When I think of a "doubled-die" error I think of the classic 1955 wheat penny as described here: http://coins.about.com/od/coinsglossary/g/doubled_die_def.htm

Are we talking about the same thing?

Just wondering.

Just a guess, as I haven't seen one exactly like like this- but I would think it may be from a broken collar. How does the reeding on the edges look?
