I could see this one being glue, but yes, better pictures are necessary.

Keep in mind, a clash into devices is near-impossible. Sometimes small details pass - the E clash into an SLQ knee comes to mind - but getting the Memorial onto a Lincoln obverse probably requires two coins and a vise.

I've never seen a die clash go up the bust like that except for the "superclash" Jeff.  with the people above, better pics are needed but my first impression is glue or vise job. |

Stone bone, do you have a magnifying glass? I put the middle of my magnifying glass lens right under my camera and it takes nice closeups. Just make sure it's bright enough. Or you can try an alternative and scan the coin (use the highest resolution on your scanner), that's what I used to do before I can take good pics.

Those pics are better Stone bone. But make sure you're using only the middle of the magnifying glass lens, or else it won't focus well.
Seeing how the E Pluribus is on there (relief on relief) makes me think it's not real, but I can't really help you too much with your cent anymore, you'll just have to wait for a more experienced member to answer.
One thing I'd like to ask though, is the relief area of the reverse (e.g. text, the memorial building) is more incuse than the not-relief area (e.g. between the pillars of the memorial) on the obverse? If you don't understand what I'm trying to say I'll try rephrasing it.

Well what I can say is that the memorial looks pretty normal except for the slight discoloration on the almost exact spot which is on the obverse side which makes the reverse memorial look as if was slightly a weaker strike. Do you get what I mean?

if it looks like it's laminating, its possible that it was Two Cents that were glued together, then pulled apart. That can leave a 'laminating' clear piece with the relief of the memorial reverse. Found a few of those over the years. KK |

So what you are saying the memorial that is supposed to be on the correct place looks like a weak strike?
I think I have to rephrase my question, it is confusing when I re-read it.
You know where the reverse areas have a higher relief on the reverse (like the text and the memorial building), and where it is lower (like between the pillars of the memorial building). Does the high relief areas look more "pressed in" into the obverse compared to the lower areas?
Edit: now you see it on the reverse too? Now I really think it's a garage job, someone put several in a pile and squeezed them, or glued them then pulled them apart.
