Peek-a-Boo

I don't see any type of glue and that is not Roosevelt.

I did a side by side comparison with a Wheat Cent overlay and I see the match. I have seen something like this before. It is some kind of crazy Lamination on the Reverse of the Cent which allows that part of the Obverse to show through. This probably occurred during the milling of the Cent but that Lamination fell off or came apart afterwards.

So, if Mike Diamond showed up and said it glue, would you believe him ?

 

Are you talking about progressive indirect design transfer ?
Cause this is not that ... Heres what one of thoses look like

 

I'd be interested to know how a glob of glue would be incuse on the surface of a coin.

 

This is not incuse, its not sunken below the field, its raised above the field ..

 

Eyes play tricks with incuse/relief in photos, but it's actually incuse. OP can confirm.

 

If you think this is sunken in the field, you need glasses

 

Those are the interior walls of the sunken area.

 

ping @mikediamond (not sure if he looks at threads outside the error section)

 

Look at the top of the head, you can see where the rest of the head ( glue ) broke off of this coin ..

 

If it was real, it would be an error ...

 

Those are the stems from the wheats

 

First arrow to the left shows the stem from the wheat ..

 

I put a circle around the stem from the wheat

 

That's the bottom of the wheat leaf. The thin lines are the stems.

 

Lets start a servey

Its all broken off glue, side by side proves that ...

 

If the feature is recessed (and it appears to be) then this is a brockage from a struck fragment. An irregular piece of metal was die-struck on both faces and remained firmly seated on the reverse (anvil) die when a fresh planchet (this coin) was fed in on top of it.

 

Thanks for stopping by Mike .....

 

Mike, do you have any ideal who the image is on the back of this coin, it doesn't look like abe ?

 

It is an incuse, mirror-image version of Abe Lincoln's head. Which is what you'd expect of such an error.
