DecentGuy, I think your phone and light are way too close to the coin. 6-8" away in indirect sunlight will give an adequate picture.

That's clearly a reprocessed cent.

Reprocessed makes it worthless.

Looks like distortion to the date and lettering from the plating process. IN GOD WE TRUST is all globby from it.

Exactly, when reprocessed, all bets are off. Any doubling cracking etc is due to the shoddy plating.

 with the above comments here - a reprocessed cent and maybe some DDD to help with the overall appearance |

Thanks for your kind words but I'm just a collector who has gathered some knowledge by wasting some $. LOL
I have to agree with everyone else about it being a reprocessed cent.
Reprocessed cents tend to be very shiny and are considered damaged coins. The grading companies would probably say it has "Altered Surfaces" because the surfaces aren't original.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

ok Hold your horses everyone :) ... Just for God's sake please if you are in doubt or not 100% percent sure I would rather not hear your opinion... due all respect I am sincerely sorry if I offended anyone by saying that.... It's like if I was not sure about anything I would just not comment as I could potentially cost some poor guy lots of money that they don't have only because I wanted to put my 1 cent In SO TO SPEAK :) Keeping on my coin has a double die on the obverse and reverse ... it is everywhere .... weighs exactly 2.7g two long die cracks. the letters are bold on the obverse and reverse even though it's mostly a double die .... with the new pics I had taken in broad daylight as what my oldMate requested ... it all made my claim even more obvious ...         Peace Everyone Much love And Respect Roni |

No 4 over 3, no doubled die, not even any die cracks, just a heavily re-plated steel cent. Everyone here is trying to help you, but if you are convinced, then you can spend your money and send it to PCGS or NGC. You'll be paying for the same answers you got here for free, but your choice.

Im not familiar with plating errors but when I first saw this I thought it was a 4 over 3 but the coin has alot of other stuff going on with it as well, it looks like the 4 next to it is machine doubled strongly regardless of what it turns out to be I think its a really cool find. I'm excited to hear what you hear back from PCGS.
