You've got that right. Coins like this can even fool very experienced numismatists sometimes and no one has provided an explanation. It's quite common for two coins to become stuck together by various substances nd it's often "glue" or adhesive. If the bond between the adhesive and the coins fails cleanly then it often appears to be an error rather than foreign substance.
This is apparently what happened here except the glue didn't completely bond both coins..
There are several well-respected, highly experienced numismatists who have provided their opinion that there is some form of adherent on the surface of your cent...and you can count me among them.

nobody believes my penny is real so far. I would love to see your faces when you find out this is real
Just to show you how little you KNOW.... You don't have a penny!!! You have a Cent coin. If you believe it's a penny post on the world coin forum and see what they think.
@MisterGhost said:
do you see where liberty was struck. you can see where something happened when it was struck and kind of pushed the overlaying imprint to the right when it was struck.
The void isn't "liberty." It's the piece of glue that came off still attached to the other coin glued on it. It just happens to look like an abstract head and neck. Notice the glue imprint is of the reveverse. There is no "liberty" on the reverse design. (There is a really tiny Abe on memorial reverses though)
The penny might be real but that does not impact the case where another penny has been glued (or epoxied or ??) on top of another one and then removed. Instead of going on with continuing to challenge the knowledgable folks who have voiced their opinions that it is glue prove them wrong by submitting it to PCGS, NCG or ANACS and then post the results. You are very confident that the error is a real one that occurred in the minting process and would it not be a nice thing to have it confirmed and then post the results to these boards so that all the doubters can eat some crow?
I was thinking of making an offer to
reimburse the OP's costs, including
postage, all the fees, etc. if he submits
the coin to PCGS or NGC, and it comes
back in a Mint Error labeled holder.
Not really being fair to him, is it?

I sure hope he takes some of the millions of dollars he makes off this OBVIOUS error coin and spends it on either a decent "spell-check" app or a secondary education...............

I use a laptop I don't have time to play on a cell phone all day like you. a spell check app is not necessary especially when your dealing with people who believe that my coin is glued. They cant be to smart anyway. who is going to notice a few misspellings. The glue deans
@MisterGhost said:
Do you think that because some of you believe that its not real it is by the way. that I should just toss it in some acid and destroy it. lol or maybe I should just throw it away. I will tell you what I am going to have it graded how about that.
Acetone will not hurt your coin. It is NOT acid but will dissolve glue if that is what it is. If it's not "organic" then acetone will not harm it at all.
Good luck on the grading....

whats wrong with that hating on my coin and hating on me. your just hatefull
If I were you, I'd play the lottery. Between this post & the other one with your "experimental" Bicentennial half, you seem to be the LUCKIEST man on earth in finding rare error gems! Not hating on your coin at all, just your trolling. Can't wait to see what you happen upon next, as most things happen in 3's...............
Okay this is why they think it's not a error. If you look at your coin you can see the error part is not struck by a coin die it is incused so if you look at the rev of that cent you can see how it should look on the obv if it was struck by a die. Should be struck up and it's not so it looks like it is a copy of a coin that was stuck to another coin.

the coin was struck on top not stuck on with glue struck is the word. just look at it

that's what Ive been trying to tell everyone this thing is big money
I do not know whether I enjoyed the read or not. Still trying to figure that out. However it is both exasperating and entertaining at the same time.
From the photos I believe it is glue on the coin. For the sake of the owner I hope I am wrong. Either dip it in acetone or send it in for grading. Let us know the outcome.
If you are correct then eveyone who posted that they disagree with you can eat humble pie and ask for your forgiveness.

Coming from someone that has actually found a "big money" Lincoln cent in the wild I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that you have not.
This thread has been some humorous hump-day morning fun though!

that is from a factory error when struck. this is quite the discussion piece. I got dollar bill signs in my eyes

You sound so sure of yourself - how do you know it isn't some kind of cement, adhesive or even lacquer?
Just to show you how little you KNOW.... You don't have a penny!!! You have a Cent coin. If you believe it's a penny post on the world coin forum and see what they think.
what an incredible error
if it was mine, I would list it on eBay
because you can see and feel the metal.
You are the closed mind person when the experts tell you that it is glue and you argue with the experts.
Instead of arguing, why don't you try to LEARN something.

Oh, and what do you think happened at the Mint to make this error? Can you explain, please.

the coin was struck on top not stuck on with glue struck is the word. just look at it
can you not see the the imprint of the coin rim and the tarnish on the coin. glue does not tarnish now does it. think about it
notice the E in liberty is missing due to the error when it was minted no other explanation can be given.
