Hello Joe! What you have is a nice counter stamp
(From the LCF Glossary)
Counter-stamp: A coin that had a additional design intentionally punched into its surface after it was struck. There are many different examples of this found on Lincoln cents, including masonic symbols, cigars, the outline of U.S states, and many others. This is considered a form of post-strike damage (http://www.lincolncentforum.com/terminology-list-p/#Post-strike%20Damage), but many find these collectible.
