looks like a double struck,mis struck,brockage cent.If real it could be pretty expensive,but I dont know much about errors.
 

Could also be a press.

Take a few stacked cents, and put them in a vice.

Although, this looks better than those. Just poke around, post in the coin section of this forum.
 

For sure looks like pmd. I agree with others as to it being pressed some how. Don't feel like in my opinion that it is a die clash. Still a cool find and noteworthy.
 

So I've got a bit of experience with this type of coin. I've actually bought 2 just like yours. Paid $20 For a 1993 Lincoln and paid $50 for a Jefferson Nickel a year later.. And sorry to say I got burned both times. I had an expert check them both out and they were 100% PMD. I told him I didn't believe him until he showed me a demonstration, which he happily obliged. He used a hammer and a wash cloth. Sadly he knew exactly what he was talking about. He took one wack at it and it was almost identical it mine. Here is the $50.00 mistake.
