When posting, please show a photo of the whole coin as well as the closeup.
From what I can see from that partial photo, you have what is known as a
Vise or garage job where another coin has been pressed into it.
It is not an error but considered damage.

Someone has taken a '37 cent and placed it carefully on top of the '46 cent. Then they whacked it as hard as they could with a heavy hammer ... a garage job. I couldn't see anything from your photos, so it's just a good guess.
