Looks like a raised masonic counterstamp.

The counterstamp raised on the obverse and incused on the reverse. I noticed the reverse stamp first:

WELL, WELL, well, Now that explains it quite clearly.. Nice pressing to get that design to the obverse.. without damaging the obverse. I'm guessing that they had a 'negative die' placed over the obverse to make that impression.
I do now see the bulging of the coin at the K6 location.
So can we call that a 'reverse counterstruck' cent?

I would have returned the coins for a full refund. Using tape is NOT appropriate. Years ago I had a seller do this for a single coin and complained to the seller and they didn't care so I left a negative feedback.
