I believe it is from another planchet that got stuck and stamped down on this coin. Thanks your comments are appreciated thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Someone has stacked a few cents and then squished them together causing mechanical transfer of the design from one coin to the other. This is damage and has no numismatic value.
