 Thats ok. can you describe what you have? U.S. cent? date? what issue you are seeing? Pictures always help but perhaps we can tell you if you are wasting your time from a brief description. |

Yes it is a 1998 d penny that looks to have gotten stuck in the press an got stamped by 1 possibly 2 more coins Lincoln looks to have a nose ring. You can see the edge on the front side of the coin. There's lettering poking through his shoulder.
Looks like you can see a head. Going around the bottom of his chin and neck area.
There's lettering and a ring around the top of lincoln's head. And on backside above one cent. You can seem to make out what seem to be a e or C stamp through. And underneath states of you can make out Lettering in between that and the top of the building.

Is any of the lettering backwards? if so it is probably what we call a vise job where someone pressed two or more coins together in a vice. That would just be damage. On the other hand it may be possible that you are seeing a die clash. From your description we would need to see pictures, both front and back to help you. Take pictures with your camera, Crop the images and reduce the size to under 300KB and you will be able to add them to your post.

It appears to be zinc rot. The letters etc you're seeing is Pareidolia, the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus. |

I swear if I could send better detailed pictures you could see that if you place a coin on that mark it lines up perfectly with the lettering when it's under my microscope with detail plan as day you can see it so does anyone know of some other places of way to get better pictures out there to anyone that would take a look thanks and I appreciate your time and input

Post-strike damage, yes. May be some dried glue/crud involved as well. Suggest giving the coin a long soak in 100% acetone--might reduce or eliminate the glue/crud.
