Looks like glue, or some other adhesive that dries clear was between pennies, yours being the middle of three. Soak in acetone overnight, brush lightly, and it should start coming off.

This question comes up rather frequently.

Time for more coffee.

The only advice I can give, since you do not want to consider the opinion of others, some with decades of experience with coins, is to take it to a local expert.

oh i considered it being a fake,, the first week i found i i believed it was fake,, it was the other people who pushed me to believe i may have something unreal, i took this to a guy i know who owns a antique store which specializes in coins /guns/ tools. 40+ experience,, the problem was, hes not a grader and could do nothing but tell me i needed to get it appraised asap i understand it looks fake,, a triplestruck reverse with a doublestruck obverse with roosevelt being the sandwich?.. lol.... too much going on ,, Iget it, the only thing i do know is in 1979 the denver mint had a incident that kept over striking coins, it even created one huge cluster of about 30 coins together that sold in auction for about 10k, i stick to believe this is not fake,, plus you just seeing a image.. anywhom thanks for everyone opinions here are a few more images, one is of the edging on the coin, last time i checked glue or epoxy does not shine All signs show u guys have no faith! haha,,

That is a great coin. Im going under the assumption that it is a mint error a collector would pay well for it. I dont see anyones life being that empty as to need to post a hoax coin. So nice find!!!!!!

Welcome to Tnet....
Now I’m not being a Richard, and I’m not hating on you.... but what I see, is a penny that was squeezed hard by two other pennies.
The outer tow pennies would have gotten marked up and damaged pretty good, like with a vice, but the middle one?.... would look exactly like that.
That being said, value in my estimation is one cent.
Hopefully for you an expert proves my theory wrong.
