I found this Lincoln Memorial cent while coin roll hunting. The reverse of the coin is bizarre and doubling of the memorial and the word "America" is evident. Has anyone seen anything like this or have any idea on what might have happened here? I didn't post a picture of the obverse of the coin -as it is normal.

Looks like glue to me. Someone glued another coin to this one at some time, it fell off, and now the hardened glue with the impression of the other coin is still stuck to your coin. You could probably soak it in acetone to remove the glue, or just pick it off with a toothpick.

Looks like 2 coins stuck together with glue or crud or gunk.

Looks to me like someone glued two pennies together, someone else broke them apart, and you are looking at glue.
