Could this be real? A 1940 penny with two different dates. It's difficult to figure out the other date. Looks like a 192?. Is this coin real? Could it have two different coin dates? Please help?
Look at it close and notice how many of the characters are backwards. Then you may be able to determine if it is real.
Not a fake. It has been squished with another cent. Your coin is most likely a real coin but it is so damaged from the being mashed with another coin that it is barely recognizable. In this case, it is worth less than face value.
Fun. People have been doing that stuff forever. This is my "train penny" from back in the 50's. There is considerable discussion about things like this.
Under high power magnification I think I see a presidential candidate eating a candy bar, but I can't make out which candidate or which candy bar.
Generally, a coin will never have 2 different dates. (There are exceptions, but I said "GENERALLY"). It could have 2 or more of the same date. As you can see, the second date is reversed, which means another coin was pressed into this poor soul of a former coin.
