Lincoln Shield Cent Error

I’m new to this forum but have been online since 1994 and a coin collector since 1963.
I need your help on this error coin my friend’s son found while roll hunting the other day.
I have been searching the Internet for the last couple of days and I cannot find one like it or even close.
Your thoughts and opinions will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Not an error coin.
Faked
The shield reverse was stamped on with another cent

Looks like glue from here. 2 cents glued together.
Just my 2 cents
It appears to be raised.
I think the glue makes more sense to me.
From that one photo that I can't enlarge,
it looks like glue to me too.
Welcome to the forum!
Not a Mint error. Made post-mint. Someone placed another cent on top a cent and smacked or vise grip them together to leave the impression.
Also, it might be an impression from a clear coat or glue.
An actual Mint error would show a “correct” image if it came from subsequent die hit, not a reverse image.
Right click and open in new window
A reverse photo will tell us whether it is glue or a vice job.
Great photo coinmagnet! First time posters always amaze me with their photos. Got all the ropes figured out from the start! Good job! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! And......WELCOME ABOARD!!!!!!
I would open the bid at $1,000,000 at least.
I think it's glue. Acetone will remove it if so.
I agree with all the above.
@coinmagnet....Welcome aboard....The image is reversed, so either a glue impression or a vise job...Cheers, RickO
I right clicked, etc.
It's glue Not a vice job, imo
