2 coins pressed together?

This fell out of a penny roll. Date,..... 198? Zinc. There is also a lamination error from LIBERTY to Lincolns shoulder. The, 1/10 or so of the second coin is also Zinc, but appears to be like clamshelled open. The distinguishable letters in front of Lincolns face appear reversed. L-R........ TAT.... and a reversed S. So TATS. Don't look like a hammer or vise job. This is a cell phone pic. My microscope I just recieved, I am still dailing in. I can get very close pics which I will post, but nothing further away.

Sorry Walt. It's just glue, not lamination.

But it looks like you're doing well with pics from the new scope

 

It feels like a groove not a hump. BTW.... the second coin actually looks like someone tried prying this off. It is not glued.

 

I don't see an image of a second coin. The coin you are showing has glue on it. Soak it in acetone and watch it melt.

 

I guarantee you,...... that is a coin in front of Lincolns face. Setting up the microscope now.

 

Even if so. it's still from glue ....

 

And I guarantee you... It's glue

Welcome to CoinTalk!

 

Throw it away.

 

Need to add an extention to close-up pics to post. Unsure what I need n how to do it. Will get it straight yet.

 

Defintly glue.

 

Your photos are just fine. Closer photos are not needed.
Your coin has glue on it and had another coin attached
by that glue until they were pried apart, leaving the
glue on your coin. I guarantee!

Put it in a glass of water for a short time,
the glue will peel off quite easily. You might
even be able to peel it without soaking.

 

Ok.......... here they are close-up

 

Can't figure out why my camera has the letters reversed. The STATES part IS reversed from the pic.

 

My friend... One more time...
It's just glue!

 

More and closer photos will not change the fact that it's glue. Just glue.

 

Yup, that's glue alright.

 

Anytime you see the letters reversed it is an impression of another coin. Such as impressed into glue. So very simple to understand... We have seen many others like this on CoinTalk.

 

Yes. I was too lazy to type it out. Reversed letters come from another coin, not a die. There is something on the surface of the coin that took the impression from a second coin being pressed into it. Can't think of anything in the minting process that would create this look. Seen this too many times to call this an error coin. I don't really understand what is making the rim/edge of the coin hang out so far from where it belongs. That looks like some type of damage.

 

That's glue, too.

 

in case anyone is wondering ... that's clear glue
