Friends,here is the 1996 Penny was talking about...What your thoughts on it?
Does another Penny like this (Type) of ERROR exist in the Entire Lincoln Cent Series.Yes or No?
This looks like a vice job, a form of post-mint damage, that is caused by someone squeezing two coins together. It is not a multiple strike or error of any kind, and has no value whatsoever.

Reason: OCD spelling
Mirza, this is definitely a vice job. Notice how the "multiple strikes" appear backwards. For instance, on the obverse, the words ONE CENT are backwards. Interesting looking coin, but unfortunately PMD.

I think I see some MD on the bottom of the I in America.

Probably better to not muddy the water for the OP, the important thing for him to learn here is that it's post mint damage, how to identify such damage and understand that it's not worth anything.
