Welcome to the forum.
I believe the two curved areas on the obverse are where two coins were stuck to this one. The devices (letters) on these are reversed and it looks like solder was used to bind the coins together. You can also see the damage to the face of this coin where they used a chisel or pry bar and/or a hack saw to separate the coins. The light reflecting off the surfaces of this coin also appear to show some slight bending (IN God WE TRUST area) from trying to pry the coins apart. This coin may have been part of a circular picture frame or clock face at one time?
Nice images and thanks for sharing.

I would say this coin was part of a belt buckle and the coins were pried apart. It is not an error and worth face value.
