I go through a lot of pennies and have never seen anything like this. The front is an add on, the back is indented.
Any thoughts on value or does this happen more often than I know. I am not a coin guy and sorry for asking a question I can look up on my own (I tried) if it is more common than not.
Thanks,
I am working on the Nolan Ryan master set. Need 1004 more cards to complete. I might actually spend more on plastic than I did on cardboard.

Looks to be glue, or, some other sticky gunk on your coin revealing an impression which looks to be an error; yet, isn't. It appears you have a substance on coin with an impression on obverse and reverse left by two coins which were stuck to your '74. Soak in acetone, and maybe repost results. Thanks.

You are right. I didnt have any acetone so I boiled it and got the glue off. Thanks for the heads up.
Sticky substance on both sides
We often see posts such as this... glue makes interesting impressions... Cheers, RickO
