I know what it is! It is acid, but Two Cents were laying face-to-face. The obverse of the top coin (if yours was on the bottom) came up to the edge of the circular arc. The transferred reverse lettering is from where the letters from the other coin were in contact with your coin, so the acid did less damage in the outline of the letters in reverse.
