It was glued to other coins, which later were separated, leaving the clear glue behind.
Yes, glue or some other resin.
Soak it in acetone, it'll probably come right off.
It's not an error. It's just one cent.
Welcome to the forum.
Glue, as above

Welcome!
As above ... the coin is the result of some cents "glued" together and then separated.
Since you are a "new collector" ... stick around and ask lots of questions ... there is lots of sound collecting advice on the Board.

glue and a clamp
Parking lot find?
Use acetone so that the anticipation doesn't kill you. Peace Roy

@Erickwills .... Welcome aboard... Yep... I agree with the above assessments... glue... soak in acetone... agitate a bit, it will all come off. Good pictures... Cheers, RickO
Glue
For what it's worth to you @Erickwills I've been at this for over a decade and it took me a while to get to the same conclusion as the others - it's glue. It's not a dumb question at all.
I think key to the examination of a potential error like this is to try to answer the question "How could this happen during the minting process?" Looking at one side of the coin it initially appears to have been struck through a fragment that had been previously struck. As soon as I got to the point of noting it was on both sides of the coin, the chances of it having been struck through a fragment on both sides at the same time becomes nearly impossible.
Enjoy the hunt!
