    It’s called a “sandwich coin”

    It’s damaged - another coin was simply pressed into your coin – it is not an error coin of any kind or type I’m sorry to say

    Looks like it was glued to a Lincoln Memorial reverse cent and you are seeing the imprint of that reverse in the glue.

    Ikes T – you may be right I didn’t look at the photo close enough!

    I agree, appears to be glue residue from when it was glued to another coin. The other coin was removed, and now the mirror image from the other coin remains.

    Same as before. It's some type of glue. As said previously, it's damage, not an error

    OP, with the coin in hand, surely you can see a raised area of dried clear glue?

    OK, fair enough. :)

    @Lolliopman ... Welcome aboard. Soak your coin in acetone for a while and the glue will disappear. Cheers, RickO
