Doesn't look fake, but we do need improved photos--better lighting at a minimum, both sides. Thanks.

Not a fake, just been damaged, possibly acid etched.

There is absolutely no reason anyone would make a fake 1957 D Lincoln Wheat cent. It's real and worth a few cents. |

With the partial reverse photo now posted, I'm thinking acid exposure.

Your coin just lost considerable mass being dissolved, regardless of how it happened. Think about how glass (or a coin) can be worn and smoothed by the sea.

The weight and size have been reduced by an acid dissolving the material of the coin itself. There is a 99% chance it was a completely normal coin to begin with.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
