that is interesting. Looks like part of the reverse memorial design is showing on the raised area.

It looks to me like two pennies fused together and were pried apart.

There doesn't seem to be any noticeable pry marks..

It is a gob of glue or similar material, another cent was pressed into it.

I agree. It looks like someone glued two pennies together to try and make a magicians coin of sorts. It's just a penny with crud on it.

Back when Madagascar was connected to the mainland. Rare coin predates Lincoln and all men for that matter!

I was going to say CUD but looks as if two cents were glued together then pried apart.
