1999 Penny with reverse on obverse in goop.

I'm assuming that this is some sort of Lacquer or glue with the reverse pressed into it from another penny? It isn't pressed into the penny, just into the goo. Thoughts?

I'm going with Vise job.

 

It looks like dried adhesive.

 

That's it , Dries adhesive Vise Job !

 

Good Job, Chris. You got it right the first time! I told you that capped eye would clear up.

 

Not a vise job, glue.

 

Nope.. He gave us the clue.. In goop

It was glued with another cent and separated leaving an impression.

Remember that fkr future reference

 

Dried glue as it was glued to another cent.

 

Just for the learning experience, do an acetone soak and use a wooden tooth pick to remove the "goop."

 

Why go through the trouble of cleaning it, spend it.

 

Another clue is that the secondary devices and letters are reversed and incuse.
(If it dissolves in warm water it might be some type of sugary water from a cup holder, as opposed to glue.)

 

I think you have described it correctly.
