Hi guys,
While CRHunting cents, I came across a very strange
specimen. It's a 1983p cent. The reverse seems normal, as well as, the wt. 27 gms.
However, it's the obverse that is where the mystery lies. I can't determine if it's a die clash, double struck or something else? Does anyone have a clue?
Also, the ear seems to be doubled too?
It is concave on the obverse as well.
Thanks for any comments.

Sorry, many Pics






















Thank you Guys.
:)

    You think?
    Let me soak it in acetone overnight.
    Thanks

    Certainly looks like glue residue... a good acetone soak should determine if it is. Good pictures. Cheers, RickO

    Had the same thing happen to me years back. I was roll searching and found a Jefferson nickel that look like it had been struck with a Lincoln memorial cent reverse die.
    Alll my dreams "melted" away in acetone lol

    I’ve got a 2 cent piece that had a similar look and after much research, I learned about glue. I left mine alone as dipping would have made it look worse😂. For you buddy, remember……..
