This is most certainly a fake.

Fake, they used a real cent and stamped over it....you can see it in the UNUM. I agree. Look above the top of the left-side wheat stalk as well. |

That three looks okay to me. Notice how it looks compared to the four. Now, notice how your three looks compared to its four. Context is important.

 The reverse is weakly struck on the E PLURIBUS but seems very strong on the UNUM. OF AMERICA looks very suspect and the right wheat head has some problems. The rim doesn't look right either. With so many red flags, I would say it is most likely a counterfeit. I've never seen doubling quite like that either, odd that it is just on the one word. |

100% counterfeit, your typical Chinese counterfeit. Not even a real Lincoln Cent planchet at all. Most likely lead. |

Seems unlikely. Please never use that sentence ever again referring to counterfeits in 2015, almost 2016. The Chinese are getting SO much better, especially when it comes to US coins. Even TPG's have been fooled.  |

Still though, it's probably not lead.

If anything, it's a disgusting pot metal.

It is not lead.
As said above, it is probably an over-strike on a real cent. Why make something out of lead when you can just use one cent?
