I recently got a huge amount of change and was sorting through all the 1982 pennies to finish out a book. I came across a 1982 Zinc Large Date penny with what looks like a raised black Lincoln memorial slightly tilted. The image is inverted so the columns and statue of Lincoln are depressions like a die would have. I don't know what to make off this. Anyone with thoughts please let me know.

    Glue or some sort of adhesive, would be my guess, considering the design is inverted.

    Another coin was glued to this one, and when the coins were pried apart the impression of the other coin remained in the glue.

    Exactly what others have mentioned. There is glue residue on the reverse of the coin and another coin was stuck to it, thus leaving the impression.
