1914 Wheat Penny. Yes Pareidolia. But Tell Me You Don't See It

I'm quite sure it is too.... Lol. I wasn't saying anything just to see if anyone else saw that.

It is hard to zoom in that far on the image. Phone pic of a scope screen, maybe? Lots of pixelization.

I can almost see a "19".

I think I see where you all are going with this.

This is a good illustration of just how much the pariedolia effect requires the expectation of seeing specific things, to "see things that aren't there".

Not being American, I am completely ignorant of which dates/mintmarks are rare in the Lincoln Penny series. It therefore wouldn't occur to me to "look for a D on 1914". Without that subconscious expectation, I don't see a "D" that isn't there.

If you asked me "what letter or letters do you see beneath the date", I would have said I see a C, and a V. Both of which are obviously meaningless and impossible, as far as phantom mintmarks are concerned.

Insane thread.
