Very much Pareidolia, they did not 'recycle' old coins...ever. I will atribute it to plating bubbles. If this was a 'recycled' coin, the date would not be below the original, they would overlap for the most part. Further proof that this isn't a 'recycled' coin. |

See if any of those friends on FB would want to buy this coin from you? If so, take the money and run. Fast. I don't see it either, sorry.  |

I do see something going on with the T on the reverse, looks like plating bubbles. As already pointed out, it is impossible to have been struck on a 1946 because the 1946 would have been copper not copper plated zinc. Sometimes looking at a coin under too high magnification will give all kinds of optical illusions.

That is why it's on here 20 Facebook friends see something above the date. Coin people say differently. But you want to believe the Facebook friends. Show your financial support of the Coin Community Family (click here)See my topic on Mexican Numismatic Medals (click here) |

Let me just ask you ; The 1996-D cent that you have - what composition of metals is it made of ?  |

The obverse image is a very low resolution enlargement. The image compression format--very likely .jpeg origin--causes photo details to be very soft, clumpy, and fluid-like. Gets worse when enlarged. Look at all the other 'possible' shapes suggested on other surface areas--like the small rotated D just to the right of the mint mark, or the sitting bird with the yellow leg a ways above the 99 (date).
And consider, the phantom '46 appears to be made from a much smaller type font than used for the 1996 date. The 1946 date was not that small--search google for legit '46 wheat cents, and check the size of the numbers.

Sorry I was only going on what I was told on Facebook I was trying to Get a possible confirm figured it wasn't anyting Ml Definitely interesting though I've never seen one like this likely it's just the zinc pennies But the T on the back That is odd There is no zinc Rot It's actually part of the T so that doesn't make any sense why it's like that it's like it doesn't even fit coin seems to be a little bit off-center maybe that's why that's doing that Maybe mad And on the back the The entire coin bowls in word like a bowl

Can you post a clearer picture of the reverse? Maybe we can figure out what is going on with the T.
