Does this penny look like a quarter was first stamped on it on both side??

I dont want to get my hopes up but Im very curious what others can tell me about this. This was not the easiest theory to capture. The way my photo was taken is how I saw it stamped right side up. (The bottom left side of the neck whith the kinda 2 lines how it is, a little bit of the date though even hard to make out,the curls and the ear on a quarter like it is, and the very receded hair line which looks as though Lincoln is staring straight at and the nose and eye would be underneath where the top of Lincoln's hair is, all of this in the exact same size and spot as if you held a quarter up right there next to it)And then when flipping the coin, just the way you would any penny, i noticed multiple different markings underneath that seemed like the eagle on the back too right side up.( the log he's perched on, like on or two of the leaves even, the whole left side of him and the shadowing where his legs split in the middle, the tip top of his head where the left side of the memorial is, his right wing starting on top between the E in UNITED and the first S in STATES, the beak is about where the NI of UNITED is, and on the pic closer up you can even make out most of the claws around the 4th piller in the memorial. Am I just super tired or can someone back me up here lol?

To be honest, I don't see any of that. Maybe I'm the one who's just super tired?

No, I don't see that at all. It looks to me like it may be a very late die state, it looks like the die may have been beginning to "sink" in the fields.

 

Sorry, all I see is 1¢. Better luck next time!

 

I'm also super tired! But all I see is a normal Cent.. No evidence of a Quarter anywhere.

@BlondeWhit
don't look for errors when you are tired

 

Like others, I’m seeing nothing.
If that was stuck in a quarter die press before being struck in the cent press, you’d easily be able to see remnants of the quarter design.
Google photos of double struck coins.

 

If a cent planchet was struck with Quarter Dies it would be the size of a Broadstrike coin and be to big in diameter to fit into the collar of a cent press.

 

Yes.

 

Welcome to CT. In your second photo, I see what you do but only because of suggestibility. Look up the word pareidolia.

 

I don't see anything.
Let's suppose a cent blank mistakenly got mixed in with the quarter blanks and was minted. How is that coin then going to find it's way back to the penny minting? Out of all of the billions of coins minted?

 

Thank you very much for responses. Im not going to lie, i definitely feel pretty dumb now lol, however on the bright side of things, a couple of months ago I would be far too worried about what others thought of my questions to even post such an odd one, which would have prevented me from educating myself more by your answers. Ive learned so many new things and have actually found a few jems outta all the coins ive looked through. Ive only posted the ones ive got doubts and questions about though. And this absolutely must be that pareidolia effect (i learned a new word too!) Because ive had similar questions like this here and there in the past too and just havent been brave enough to post any questions. The whole broadstrike thing makes total sense now and it just took a good night's rest, help from yall, and some logic lol. So Thank you all!

 

Keep looking, keep asking, keep learning... pretty soon you'll be the one answering and people will reply with "yeah, what she said!".

Now, before the grammar police write you a ticket, let me introduce you to the "carriage return" or "enter" key

 

It takes courage to say what you just said. Look on the brightest side : You've made new friends, you've learned new things about coins, and, when it comes to seeing things on coins, you've learned a very important new word !!

You are ALWAYS Welcome at Coin Talk !!

Not to mention if it was struck by the quarter dies the planchet would have spread out and then would not have fit into the cent collar.
