Re: 1935 S Wheat penny
If you would go to error-ref.com and look up multiple struck coins or doubled struck coins then you would find out this coin is not it, it's actually badly smashed and damaged after it left the mint. No part of the minting process can do this to a coin.

Re: 1935 S Wheat penny
Thank's for your quick responses. What's the record number of times a coin had been struck in the machine and repeatedly struck?

Re: 1935 S Wheat penny
Your coin hasn't been struck multiple times and usually when it get's past two it ends up being bonded to the next coin that enters the coining chamber.
When a coin fails to leave the coin chamber after being struck, that doesn't stop other coins from entering and being struck together.
This is the reason it's important for to read through error-ref.com like it's a book, you will learn so much more than just posting odd looking coins.

Re: 1935 S Wheat penny
Oh no, that is a Parking lot Penny, chewed up there . . .
It's a shame that a 1930s Wheat Penny with a 'S' Mintmark suffered the same fate as the other coins there did . . .

Re: 1935 S Wheat penny
Welcome.
If you can think of a way to duplicate a coin's look using tools out in the garage, then someone likely beat you to it (as well as beating the coin).
Don't assume mint damage b/c most of the time it won't be. And as Daniel has said, please read error-ref.com like a book. :)
