Question from the peanut gallery I got a question about as 57D


So I'm just about to put it in the copper pile because it looks damaged and and then I noticed the outline of a flying eagle upon further inspection I noticed 1856 so my question is is has anyone ever found a flying eagle on a Wheat cent?

The coin IS. Hard to make out I've found coins like this before with details u can make out but this is one of the only ones the date is readable it looks like a clashed coin because the details on the reverse literally look like they come thru ea h other. Only 2000 minted ... How could one end up back to get stamped as a 1957 D. Denver?! Well I'm researching more and I'd like to know if any of the experts here have any thoughts or insight I've found alot of the earlier wheats are ....I'll say scrubbed ? Because it's not talked about or written about but has definitely happened I've found number out wheats on indians. Flying eagles uhm it's like the mint scrubbed the details off and reused the old coins anyone have info on this ...this is the first example I can actually see the date and details and they didn't scrub it will enough or whatever I say scrubbed because the coin literally looks scratched off in areas but like this I thought has to be counterfeit right ...but like this coin .... Who takes a 1856 flying eagle and covers it with a 1957penny ... No the mint did this why is my question and are they still doing it? I've also found like wheats on indians head copper with is different it's like a french alloy or something but in those you'll also see details but not enough to decently make out dates and things u can just see it's the darker color like an Indian but with luster .

@pen, it sounds like you are describing the situation where an existing coin was fed into the presses at the mint and restruck. While possible, it is far more likely that someone has attempted to manufacture an error. Pics will help us to better tell what you've got there. Thx.

PenKneeMan-
First of all, the Mint does not scrub or reuse old coins. Every coin struck is from a new planchet.
From what you describe, you may have what is called a vise job..
Interested in seeing your coin, please post a clear photo of both sides..
Rest in Peace

JimmyD , who in their right mind would press a rare 1856 FE into a common 1957-D Wheat cent .

Denver didn't start striking cents until 1911-D. Chances of having that die? Zero.

It could be a $3 Chinese fake pressed into it.
