I don't know much about coins but I just found this one. Does anybody have any ideas about it?

Similar to a brockage, but those aren't ever that far off center. I think someone put Two Cents in a vise and squeezed them. Not sure how the reverse fared so well.

hmm... I feel like this looks too perfect to be purposely made by someone. I think you may have something good but ill wait for the experts

Since the reverse is undamaged I'll say it's glue. Someone glued Two Cents together then pulled them apart after the glue has dried, leaving an impression of the other coin.

slurexe seems correct. put it in 100% acetone and see if the glue comes off.

Glue is most likely - notice the raised edge of the glue going through the E in LIBERTY.

Let us know the results of the acetone treatment.

and to CCF!

It's glue that's why it's a reverse image
