If you are in reference to this(circled) it is coin contact, reversed image from roof trim. Either accidental or on purpose   Edited by Crazyb0

This is a screen shot from: http://Lincolncentsonline.com/miscellaneous.html It is caused from over using the dies. Somehow, after many thousands of strikes, the design from one die is transferred to the other, then the coins struck with those dies will have the "ghost" image on them. Quote:
Anyone ever seen the likes of this? It is common on wheat cents, especially from the 1950's. Edited by cwb

Well, so as you don't give a bit about how this happened and just care about if anybody else saw one of these so called "errors" - Then NO, I have not seen one before!

I can't tell too much about the obverse but what I see on the reverse is as cwb referenced: "ghosting". The technical term is Progressive Indirect Design Transfer (PIDT).
Yes, I have seen many like that.

Maybe a couple dollars over face value

A PIDT is NOT a mint error, therefore commands NO (ZERO) extra value, Unless you can convince some poor unsuspecting soul on ebay that it is... Edited by Crazyb0

 It is fairly common and not a marketable error, similar to other forms of Die Deterioration. There's really no added value. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
