Hello, I've been a member for some time. Most times, by searching here and other places I can find my own answers with a minimum of fuss and if not then it gets tucked away for another time...until now..I came accross a 1962 cent in a bankroll, its very bright which I thought odd but when I looked at the date...it seems as if it's been repunched ....over an upside-down date ( ?)
I tried inverting colors and different angles trying take since of it..might be I'm seeing something not there. I'll try to post pictures but failing that I'll trouble you no more.lol

This next image I took blocking overhead light while allowing light from a lamp to the side....I understand one light source is important...but this was so striking. The more I look at this coin the odder it seems, almost as if it was struck on a foreign coin or something...and now I sound nutty

now I sound nutty Good to have a certain level of self-awareness.  Seriously though, I think you just have some damage on the date plus a little Pareidolia. If you weigh this coin and it is within mint specs, then you'll have your answer as to whether it was over struck on some other country's coin. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

Firstblete apologize for taking so long to reply hectic day..that aside I'd like to thank you gentlemen for taking the time to reply to this. That bit of copper was becoming an irritation...just couldn't find anything that seemed to fit what I thought I was seeing( I admit Pareidolia may have had a part to play)Which is what finally drove me to come begging answers..as far as I'm concerned it's a date with a Cud that met the wrong Gumball Machine lol.G'nite all,with regard, B.

Oh and I meant tell Spence that,per his suggestion, I did weigh the cent and all is as it should be(3.08),silly of me not to have done so already. In my defence I recently discovered the whole invert colors thing and well I've been playing with that ..alot..with everything ,family pics, my lunch clouds etc...I may need counceling..well .morning comes early. Thanks again!
