.It's called a "Magicians Coin". Two different year cents are pieced together.

They show up periodically on the coin forums. Sometimes you can buy them on eBay.

Also seen from time to time are the cent/dime mulings, also called magician's coins but really just novelty items. You'll find them among the ads in old comic books and kids magazines.
